Yes. But they need instances of this to be reported, in particular, WHAT ad was responsible. Go here and read the posting by Gordon of Yahoo! Groups. http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=groupsfid=181211 WalterH --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Paul Plack pl...@... wrote: Has Yahoo been made aware? - Original Message - From: skipp025 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 6:27 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Caution to Group Members Trojan from Yahoo Banner Advertisments I actually believe I received the trojan from a banner ad while setting up new book-marks for one of the radio/repeater Groups I frequent...

Re: Caution to Group Members Trojan from Yahoo Banner Advertisements I actually believe I received the trojan from a banner ad while setting up new book-marks for one of the radio/repeater Groups I frequent. A newly installed Kaspersky protection package on the other computer caught the %$(^*% script. I have nothing against the other protection programs... but I had McAfee, AVG, Norton, Ad Aware and a few others installed at various times and machines trying to help and no cigar (didn't work for me). I read a a lot of internet forum posts regarding this worm, learned about good results people were having with Kaspersky, installed the free demo package on a replacement windoz machine and went looking at old haunts when it tripped an alarm on a/the yahoo banner ad. Not fun, not good. You'll need to learn how to clean/remove the trojan with windoz in the safe mode as you'll find out it prevents many things from functioning. Worse case is the worm has a built in smtp (email) engine and will send your passwords and other information to some very bad people. Teaches me for getting away from Linux... back to a dual boot machine. s. Mike/W5JR w5jr.m...@... wrote: I've spent the last 24 hours on this very issue.

Assuming it was not a false the simple running of something like avira and another scanner regularily and blocking outgoing requests on all but a few ports will be a big start to making things safer Personally I just flush things by a reboot of the virtual machine (solaris box) and running in a modified client account in winblows To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com From: skipp...@yahoo.com Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:27:46 + Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Caution to Group Members Trojan from Yahoo Banner Advertisments Re: Caution to Group Members Trojan from Yahoo Banner Advertisements I actually believe I received the trojan from a banner ad while setting up new book-marks for one of the radio/repeater Groups I frequent.
