    Default Potential Virus Threat

    Both Internet Explorer and McAfee blocked several viruses and trojan horses when visiting the site tonight. From SRP Home > Library > Videos
    then all the alarms went off. If interested, I can attempt to recreate session to get exact warnings, scriptnames, filenames, etc.

    The only file available on that page is the download/high version. I just downloaded it and got no virus warning. I also ftp'ed it from the site and checked it and it was clean. You are about the 3rd person in the past 18-months to indicate a virus in this area. The file has been downloaded hundreds of time by others without incident over that same period. I don't doubt that your virus checker sounded an alarm, but I don't believe the file is faulty. There are no guarantees in this business, so I'd never say never. Can you tell me what virus was reported?

    Sorry, I should qualify that by saying I just tried it again now and nothing happened. However, I am currently on a University machine behind their firewall, so ...

    I attempted to recreate the attack. Same click sequence, no alarms. Am not yet sophisticated enough to find the logs and i will keep trying.
    FYI, the alarms 'went off' when i arrived at the video's page. Had not clicked to download or view either version.
    Gotta go now and run a complete scan

    Um, I had a rake of 5 trojans when I visited the video section. The remnants of one cannot be removed. That was about a month ago. I registered today and Sophos pulled me up on a single trojan when I tried to get the vid.

    Just for your information.

    BTW are you sure the virus is not in the directory that the vid is stored in rather than the vid itself?

    Cheers

    Mat
