Malicious Maleware
« on: February 04, 2012, 06:23:47 am »
      Has anybody else had a pop up that uses goggle or goggle chrome that warns about malicious maleware from a different site that is posted to this site ?  It happened to me this morning.

     This morning I was on the forum, using goggle chrome, twice I had a pop up warning that www.chevytrucks.com contained links or downloads from www.dieselplace.com that contained malicious maleware and could infect my computer, did I want to proceed anyway.
      They were not trying to sell me anything, but was asking about reporting problems with the site ?  I did not know what to think of it.

Sounds like a nasty bit of fake-antivirus 'ware going around. It names itself after your OS and offers to sell you a "full" version of itself.
I picked it up on this computer a month or so ago, but fortunately I'd created a restore point a few days prior to the infection, so I was able to restore the system.
There are some fairly descriptive methods of clearing it out spelled out at bleepingcomputer.com
A friend of mine owns a local ISP, and refers to that website quite a bit.

Delicious Delaware? Ive removed quite a few viruses that say stuff like that. One of them popped up down in the bottom on the windows taskbar, disguised as a windows notification. It took me three days to remove it because it would shut down any program I tried to open. It even shut down the task manager(ctrl,alt,del). I had to research the solution on my phone and use it on the computer. Some of the viruses now a days are naaasty. Some good suggestions to practice are: if you dont trust it, dont click it. And, if you want it gone, google search the name of.it and how to remove it.

     The problem was that it in no way offered anything to buy, there was no links to go to another page or anything like that.

     Sorry Vile, it directed me to www.73-87chevytrucks.com (this site).   I have never had any problems with this site, or my computers from this site, it was just in the 1-1/12 years I have been here I have never seen something like that.
     Just wanted to know if it was bogus or something else ?

I have seen this a WHILE back, but it was some pictures someone linked here that I removed.  I thought I got them all.  If you can tell me where it is or what you are using to detect it or what the post/image is I will remove it.

     All it said was it was on this site linked from dieselplace.com, it did not say where or what sorry.
