Facebook trojan

Viruses and worms
1

One of the facebook group alert me as trojan horse block.

2

With social programs like Facebook, Twitter, etc you have to expect that there will be malware.
Those types of internet sites are gold mines for those in the malware business.

3

Are you asking for help or are you just posting some info ???

If you want help you need to post more detailed info

4

I just want to know what should I do? Do I need to remove the trojan, if so how? Or should not go to that group at all?

If avast is reporting and blocking a website, then there is nothing to do as the malware is not on your machine but on the website

Can you post the message from avast ?

6

I wish I can, but the message pop up goes away.

7

If you right click the orange avast ball there is a " Show last popup "

when it is up you can click the pin in top right corner on it, this will make it stay on the screen

you can then take a screenshot of it and post here

8

I don’t have an oragne ball or don’t see it. When I right click on the avast icon it doesn’t say anything about last pop up.

9

wait. are you using avast 4.8?

10

Nope. I’m using avast 5.

11

This is the avast tray icon, see image example of good and bad, do you have that ?

12

Found it.

13

in top right corner of the popup there are two icons. X for closing it if you don`t want to wait until it dissapear,
then there is a pin, click it and the popup will stay on the screen

14

How do I do a screenshot here?

  • When you click the Reply button, there is an Additional Options link, this expands the options to attach a file, that can be an image file or a text file (.log or .txt). Also see How to post an Image.

Here is the screenshot I’m getting:

This is the web shield detecting and blocking a malicious web site, and you see it say " Connection Aborted " so this is malware on a website and not in your computer

Still i recomend installing Malwarebytes as an extra scanner http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
remeber to always update before you scan, as MBAM is releasing 5 - 10 updates a day

18

How do I fix that then? Or is it anyway to fix it so I can go to that group?

19

The best thing to do is contact the web site owner and tell about the problem with the web site. You might also give the owner a link to this thread.

Thanks. I’m kind of relieved it’s not my computer. whew :slight_smile:
