Is this forum virus-infected ?

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

Yesterday I picked up a virus and today also.
In both cases I am 99% sure that the virus jumped in from here.
Any confirmation ?
Is there a strange winamp.exe in your windows 2000 system32 directory ?
Is there a new batch file in your windows 2000 directory with contents similar to these ? :
@echo off
:deleteagain
del /A:H /F nyncua.exe
del /F nyncua.exe
if exist nyncua.exe goto deleteagain
del rfwrbj.bat
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

This forum is virus free,you can count on me when saying that 8-)
There was a thread recently though announcing the lunch of a new chess site,so if you went there,most probably the virus or the trojan horse in your system had jumped from there....

It is highly advised to run Firefox with the NoScript extension. This prevents sites from infecting your computer.

I was on that site and now believe that this forum is clean because I have just got a 3rd alert while not here.
I like horses but I will kill this one. No mercy.
