Topic Other Boards / Foo / Our dogs website virus eek!
- By Dill [gb] Date 03.11.06 18:15 UTC
In the last few days logging onto the OUr dogs website results in a screaming sound and a virus warning from my anti virus programme :eek:

Anyone else had this??

I've reported it to the Our Dogs webmaster but no reply as yet :rolleyes: (2 days and counting)

any help/ideas appreciated

I was there just minutes ago (before seeing this) and it worked fine.

virus Scan reports the VBS.Saraci virus :(  and it's still there :( 

Just checked thru firefox and it's not registering if I use firefox :rolleyes: must be another IE exploiter :rolleyes:

Ah that explains it, I do use Firefox. ---- Just checked using IE (the new 7), it didn't happen to me then either? I run Norton Internet Security 2006 so should be well protected.:confused:

I've done some digging on the net and this is an old virus (2004) and it's not supposed to be able to infiltrate XP if the service packs are up to date :confused:  It does seem to be affecting music thingies (can't remember the name of them)

I got rid of Norton I S last year after it drove me nuts, I could barely use the computer it was so s l o w :(  removing NIS cured it instantly :eek:  (it was also reporting virus problems but would only ignore them, what's the point?)

I will sort this somehow ;)

Forgot to ask, do you know a way of making Firefox the default browser?  so far I haven't managed it :( IE just keeps poking it's nose in :(

Firefox - tools - options - general - default browser (check now)

:D

YUP - done that and firefox comes up as the default browser, but AOL (or AOHELL! ) doesn't seem to take any notice :rolleyes:

Still had no reply from OD :(   To be honest, I won't be renewing my subscription, seems a waste of money for what I get out of it :(  think I'll stick to scouring the papers and only buying if I want something in them ;)
