Metaclaw 21 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I keep getting a 'virus alert' from my Avast antivirus, when i open certain forum topics. the 'suspicious file' is.. well the address is too long so I don't remember it exactly, but it starts with: mypageresult, followed by: http://www.gdunlimited.net/, and then: flrdr/nxte.png or soemthing like that.

Bob423 52 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Ignore Avast. Do everything you can to uninstall it. It's terrible and really annoying. Use Malwarebytes or something better. That still may not actually fix the problem. I just know that many anti-virus programs mistake completely harmless things for files made on satan's computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metaclaw 21 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 tell me about it. avast won't let me run a certain harmless c++ program I made. Avast erases it whenever I tried to run it. I was looking for a different Antivirus, so thanks. I'll try Malwarebytes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 Take a screenshot of your url for me cause it sounds like you may have a hijacked browser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metaclaw 21 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) sadly, I have no way to screeshot in my laptop.. I used to be able to take a screenshot by clicking both the printScreen button and a weird button that says 'FN'. but it randomly stopped working. some buttons aren't working, cause someone spilled water on it a while back.. xD so that may be the cause. no '!' key for me, I gotta copy-paste it from some text to use it in scripting, etc. I'll be able to afford a new computer.. one day. *sigh* how do I check if my browser is hijacked?

Polraudio 122 Report post Posted March 12, 2014 You can usually tell by the url or when trying to go to a site it will bring you to another site you didnt want to go to. Best bet it to try a full scan with malwarebytes and see if it fixes your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob423 52 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Wow, maybe it saw the word "virus?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metaclaw 21 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) btw, I tried malwarebytes, and it supposedely found 100+ infections and fixed them. I had to manually click 'v' near each of those 100+ lines to choose them. and it took forever to scan my pc: over 3 hours. I was NOT impressed by this software. it didn't fix anything, too, as far as I can tell. Avast still gives me an alert on ceratin forum topics..
