Malware on ScubaBoard?

[DandyDon]

Solved- next definitions update stopped it

Kinda hard to ignore. We got problems...?

It's not on SB Don.

At least there's no evidence of one.

And if there was... I'd have hundreds of complaints... no?

I'm with Don. Worried. I've noticed that whenever I come to SB, my back button gets hijacked by "web cam bait", which is blocked by my protection. This only happens when I connect to SB, and it happens regardless of which of my computers I use.
Oddly, it only seems to happen the first time I connect to SB. I can reconnect through the link in my favorites file and it doesn't happen again, at least not for a few hours.

I've got the same thing too (avast -Trojan Blocked). Very annoying.

I've just started getting the same messages right now. It wasn't happening at 8:45 am EST today.

Howard can you check what's up? I also had an automatic update with Avast overnight, but when I was on at 8:45 am there was no problem.

Hey, at least I gave screen shot documentation, not just a vague reference or question.

So what is the solution, please?

Dirty, your deal is different.

Confirming the avast warning/blocking. JS: Downloader...

Just one more of the "hundred of complaints" you were looking for.

Yeah, Avast is a popular program and I guess everyone who has it gets a popup on every page, but most will just leave.

what does avast say about it? .. i'm having no luck searching for it on the internet or with avg

 

[DandyDon]

Ok, the problem may be over with. I manually updated Avast definitions and it seems to have stopped.
