No, could be one of your specific adds, or could be my AV not detecting anything and I'm currently riddled with some kind of malware

Sophos is bleating about http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~Javajar-A.aspx and http://www.sophos.com/en-us//threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~EncPk-NS.aspx. I suspect its coming from an ad but dunno which one...

I got a warning earlier on just the once. I assumed it to be a false one from an advert as teh warning stopped when the page was refreshed

I got a warning earlier this evening from security essentials, deleted it, then about 60 seconds later got hit with that **** system restore virus. Was a tw*t to get rid of too!
Lost all my shortcuts an start menu stuff
I had several pages open,but was browsing screwfix at the time. no dodgy sites either

I've notified the Mods about this thread just-in-case.

Others hit too. If I wasn't so busy I'd do a remote removal service!

System restore is what I've got. Up to system recovery options in safe mode, but Tesco admin thingy not allowing me further as I don't have a password. Any ideas, or Devs, should I just leave this to the exprts.....

All fine here. Using COMODO.

I got hit by the 'System Restore' trojan on here earlier - Microsoft Security Essentials completely failed to stop it. Had to download AVG free to remove it which took ages. Then had to run a system restore as it trashed my desktop and start menu too. Running another scan now to be sure.
Massive pain in the butt.

I've just had to recover my brother's PC from that System Restore scam virus thing. Nasty! It hides all your files and moves stuff from your "Start" button menu into a hidden folder.
This article talks you through removing it

The good news is that it doesn't delete things, just moves them or makes them "invisible". So you can recover your system.
Those responsible need stringing up by their gonads however.
My brother's virus wasn't from STW.

My PC died last night on STW. (Im in work now and am about to start a what new compurt thread)

No issues here on either work PC, home PC, laptop or android phone - using IE, Chrome and Dolphin......

I also got the system restore virus off here last night - need to go back to last restore point which is a pain.
Was the only thing I had open for ages and I went away to eat my tea, came back and there it was.
Firefox on Win 7 running MSE.
Please give whoever did this a big slap from me please!!

+1 for system restore! It was only this thread that stopped me marching up to Curry's and buying a new one! Assumed my 6yr old Dell had just given up the ghost...

has anyone had any feedback from stw?
does sound like a dodgy link or ad somewhere on the site.

As a Premier member I have all ads turned off.

premiere memebers get ads turned off
is it a cynical ploy to get you to go premiere by stw
fwiw i seem to be ok on google chrome running MSE
i previously ditched firefox and avg when i got one off here a while back even with adblockerPosted 6 months ago # -
Very sorry about this. We are bringing this to the attention of the ad server that may be the cause. Outside our control fo the moment.
Definitely not a "cynical ploy". We would not expose our users to security threats to boost subscriptions.

Which ever ad is responsible it's still doing it. Just had another one stopped whilst on STW. Not on at all.
That's the 5th trojan that has been stopped on here in less than 24 hours plus the 'System Restore' that got past MSE.
I've switched to Chrome for the time being to see if it helps.

can yo not block the ad responsible?
Posted 6 months ago # -
patrick - I think you shoudl switch off ads being served from that source altogether until you're sure the culprit has been identified and removed.
Posted 6 months ago # -
As you've confirmed this is still a live problem - I'm turning off the likely culprits now.
