THE FIFER Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 SATURDAY:The Pigeon Chat Forum today whilst exibiting all is now fixed, it is not. There is still a 'Cloud protection' virus on the server and do not ignor any warning your virus checker flags up. Should this virus get past your virus checker, you may be presented with a screen offering to clean up the 'Cloud' issue for you, do NOT click on that link. would it not be better to keep it off until fixed, hope they get back to the good soon, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meridklt Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Meridklt, would you make any recommendations to members that got a warning from their anti virus software.Or are we safe enough with scanning our pc, after updating the antivirus/malware software??? As long as you did not ignor the Virus/Trojan warning then you will be OK. As most virus checkers do give an option to ignor the warning and you did continue to use the web site, you need to perform a deep scan. The Trojan.JS.Blacole has so many variants (you possibly noticed the Trojan name changing over a couple of days) it can be difficult to fully remove and if not fully removed will sleep awaiting you to perform a particular designated task.The thing to look out for over the course of a few weeks is your computer/laptop will start running very slow and eventually stop altogether. At the time of penning this responce, the 'Cloud protection' virus is still running on their server (this is not a Trojan.JS.Blacole virus) and 99% of the time your there, your safe to do so and the virus checker is not going to report it because your not going to the directory folder where it is located.

meridklt Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 remember once been told to rid those viruses was to knock of you system restore for a couple of days, is this right, No Fifer as any well written Virus/Trojan will attack the Restore file structure and Registry before implementing the virus.
