Title: Survey bugs
Post by: mybaitshop on December 31, 2011, 20:13

I am not sure if it is just me or not but I thought I would post this.  I tried to fill this out and immediately got a Malware Trojan that has taken my laptop completely down.  It has either removed or hopefully hidden all of my files.  Again, not sure if just me, but just a word of caution.

I filled it in and didn't get any malware warning, and I'm still working on the same machine.
Sorry about your trouble.

The page was quarantined by my Internet Security. See message below.

The page infected me with a nasty malware. Microsoft security essentials did not help.
Took me at least an hour to get rid of this pest.

Alright, I think I have things cased.

Thanks for reporting the problem guys.  I have checked through the files and found one hacked file.  It was a typical WordPress type attack where they add a bit of code at the end of the index.php file.

Anyhow, I have since repaired that file and things should be looking good again.  Let me know if you see any problems.

Funny that AVG didn't spot that file when I was testing the survey :(  Hopefully not too many people were scared away.

I discovered ESET about 4 years ago. Its very light on your system and hasn't let me down yet. That page works ok now thanks Leaf. Maybe delete this thread and start again.

Thanks for the update Noodles.  Yeah, maybe I'll at least remove the virus posts so we don't scare everyone away... if it is looking good now for everyone.
