Not sure if this is the right section for my question. A short while ago this blue pop up window appeared. It is headed "Avast Warning’ underneath “Malware was found” . Under that is says “there is no reason to panic, though. Try to follow the given advice & links” . There is a yellow & black spinning disc that pulses beside that message. Under that it gives file name info — malware name. SWF:CVE-2007-0071 (Expl) Malware type: Exploit – VPS version 090223-0,23/2/2009.
Underneath that Available action, move/remove - delete - remove to chest. Recomended action: Move to chest.
Then processing-- no action . Statistics: ticked allow sending anonymous info about this incident.
Is this for real as never had this before or is it some type of virus etc. Tried Alt+F4 but nothing happens. Can someone tell me what to do? Getting a bit freaked.
i dont know if i have respond to your question but i think if its a virus why push alt+f4 ? in any way i do delete or move to chest if there a virus i dont want anymore crap on my pc hehe xD
Thanks David. sorry managed to post this twice by accident. Yes my pop up is like your example. What do u mean "once detected all hell breaks loose? Please explain a bit more.
Thanks. Had noticed a few times the flash player was trying to update but stopped it as did not think I needed it. Obviously was wrong. On dial up so almost out of time so will go on later when I have a better signal & update. Will just “move to chest” as David suggests & hope I get more info on his comment. Sure u can tell by now Iam not that computer savy.
Have updated the flash player & now get these windows coming up all the time. Windows Internet Security, "a web site wants to open web content using this program. Do I just tick the “do not show me this warning again” as it’s driving me crazy poping up every time I get a new page.
i dont want anymore crap on my pc hehe xD
