Virus found! or not?

OK · 12-13-2005, 02:08 PM

Some people have found a virus on my site and I have no idea where it can be coming from. And this message is found by Symtec.

Link: www.betrollwin.com Click on some of the menu links too please. When the error (if any) pops up tell me the link and virus message.

I have no idea where this malicious program is found. I didn't put any activeX controls on. Can anyone please help me spot out this code or at least tell me teh page you find it on?

I don't think it is a virus, it probably is part of an affilite or advertising script you have installed.

istbar is a real pain for windows users. My guess is it's coming from one of your links. I can't pinpoint it for you though since I use linux and it doesn't affect me. Are you certain that it is coming from your site?

I am pretty sure that it is not coming from my site, but I also don't know what site it is coming from.

Analyze the problem.

1. What script (external) have you installed (if any) ?
If Yes: Is the script from a trusted source; Did you get that script directly from the trusted source?
If no, continue.
2. What other sites have you allowed/included active content in your site?

That just about covers it.

Best of luck.
