Default Trojan Warning....PLEASE READ!!
Old 08-30-2005, 08:22 PM   #1 (permalink)

There's a trojan going around that's disquised as a game, it's called Silly Pool. Don't download it!!! Emmy, Deb and I found out the hard way!!! The invite to play will go out as an invite to beat that persons score. They are sent via Yahoo and MSN Messengers!!! I ended up having to restore back to yesterday!!!



Now I'm really mad...I love playing games to relax and now they're messing with them!!!! [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img]

Cupcake



Did this come through an email? Is this what I understand. We noticed that the Yahoo toolbar was downloaded on our computer. I thought the hubby did it but he didn't so I was just wondering if that happened with some kind of virus or trojan.



They seem to be getting tricker everytime. I have so many anti virus programs and spyware on this computer it isn't funny but after that last terrible virus that attacked and cost me a nice chuck of change to have removed I don't take any chances.

Yea it makes you think you're only sending an invite to certain members on your yahoo messenger, but actually it sends it to everyone in your list!!! [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img]

If someone recently installed yahoo messenger, that couldbe where the toolbar came from....you need to watch when installing those things cause they will give you the option whether you want to install it or not!!!

Okay... I rec'd this via email from Deb. Not thru messenger. However, I do get alot of "update" messages saying that I need to update to Yahoo Messenger with Voice. I looks legitamite, but when I tried to download it, all my windows... everything would just freeze up.



Is this download really Yahoo, or just some scam related to the pool game? I'm gonna run all of my scanners just in case.



Thanks for the heads up!

Check to see what version of Yahoo you're running....then see what the new version is....if you've got the newest one you're fine.
