No, not trying to discredit EF in any way, but when visiting the site earlier, I got warnings from MS the site has been marked as unsafe. I was dumb enough to click through, and now found my puter to be acting weird. Apparently, I'm not the only one either. There's a few threads up on EF. Symptoms on my end: Win7 using IE8. In the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low I found a few .exes running, some of which had also been started (as visible in the task manager). IE completely is fucked up under 32 bit mode. I am using 64 bit mode now, and will not click through after the warning this time. Just a heads up.
Yeah got it on my xp pc. It installed a bunch of crap... removed it with malwarebytes, and trend online scanner... also lost connectivity after i "cleaned" it...found a proxy running... deleted it and seems to be back to normal.. just what I found on my end. My win7 machine catches it and allows me to block it. Definetly IE though, don't get it on Firefox. And only on EF.
I found soe files named afk.exe or similarly named running as well as in the folder above. There's also a dll in there.
I got rid of it by killing the rundll32.exe process in my task manager, and then cleaning out the above mentioned folder. I wiped the exes and dll, and a .pak file that was had the same timestamp as those files. My AVG did not pick it up for some reason. :(
Ya Avast didn't catch it either. Here's my log from malwarebytes....there are some reg keys too...

here you go: No problems with Firefox I have Sophos running, but just don't wanna take the risk, maybe I'll try with a virtual machine. [edit] when going to EF with a virtual Windows XP the virtual machine went haywire so something is defiantly wrong there, BE CAREFULL !!!! [/edit]
before I went to EF: after I went to EF: notice Nhf.exe and Nzamya.exe some info on Nhf.exe: http://www.prevx.com/filenames/2247802099186956637-X1/NHF.EXE.html can't find anything on Nzamua.exe Got this message as well: They both keep my processor busy as well offtopic: nice to have a virtual machine so you can test these things out a bit :) ---------- Post added at 19:39 ---------- Previous post was at 19:33 ---------- tried it again and now got Nhd.exe and Nzamya.exe I think 711 should take the site offline asap
Aye, that's why I put the thread up here, to ensure people are aware something's not right. It might make the difference between updating virus definitions or something nasty happening. I remember an incident at work with the Slammer worm, where one colleague apparently discovered he had it, patched, and continued working. A few hours later, it hit the rest of the company, basically shutting it down. If the guy had alerted helpdesk, we all would have been patched, and hundreds of thousands of dollars would have been saved.
Yes reports of people getting intruisions and viruses on there, last i read was someone got a key logger on the latest Firefox, and now ive read that i dont think ill be going anywhare near it any time soon...
Psst ie6 may not be used anymore even Microsoft said so Recap. IE explore is affect only or also firefox ? Second somebody tried a linux system ?
yeah I know, but it is only on a virtual machine, using Firefox in real life and so far no problems with that.
btw running iptraf on linux and now outgoing unknown connections so linux is clear for now ... hell linux is always clear of malware ..
After I cleaned it, IE8 was crashing and showed blank no connection page. I found a proxy server turned on under: Internet options, connection, LAN settings.....deleted it and working fine since... just fyi. :)
Using latest Firefox and sitting behind NOD32, found nothing irregular. I think it has become a cliche to tell people to move on to Firefox, but really, this is one thing you really SHOULD do. Heads up. <:
mmm, looks like this has happened before: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscent...kers_hit_openx_ad_server_in_adobe_attack.html http://forum.openx.org/index.php?showtopic=503453491&hl=malware
Yep... Im pretty sure IE is from the devil :( though i did close the ef tab on my firefox browser for the day, i dont mind being cautious. narfi
