JS:ScriptPE-inf [Trj] - seems to only happen in Google +

Viruses and worms
1

Hi
I’m using Win7, and Avast for anti virus. I get pop-ups warning of JS:ScriptPE-inf [Trj]. I used info from this site - I’ve used Malware Bytes, Adwcleaner, and Frst to clean the system over the last few days.

It seems the only time I get the warnings is when I have Google + open. Warnings non stop yesterday, but sporadically today.

Also, why does a search on this “virus” not appear in archives for F secure, Symantec

F-secure and Symantec may not use the same name. https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=149952.0

Follow instructions and you will get assistance later today. https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Thanks for the advice.

By the time browser opened after the restarts, the pop ups were pooping up again, with the same warning.

7

Does this only happen when you go to google+

8

No…today I don’t recall having opened Google +.

The incidence of the pop ups appears to have lessened, but is still occurring sporadically.

My ISP is TPG.

Scanning took a couple of hours - log attached.

When I restarted my PC, and opened Chrome, the popup occurred straight away. The Gmail window was open (as it always is). I closed Gmail, and haven’t seen a popup since.

Hope this helps…

11

Have you deleted all the spam in your gmail folder and emptied the deleted emails folder ?

12

I have now. Originally, it appeared (to me)that GMail was to blame - the reference to talkgadget.google.com supported that in my opinion.

It was only yesterday I noticed it was happening with GMail.

I’ll monitor and advise.

13

Confirmed - limit use of PC today - but popup ONLY when GMail open.

14

That would suggest that either Gmail has added a cross link to the programme or one of the e-mails in your gmail folder is infected

I am not sure which it could be yet

15

I think your observation is quite correct. As soon as I open my normal GMail, the popups occur within seconds. I was just using my other account (Google for education), and no warnings at all.

Given that Google scan all the stuff in my account, how can I sort it out?

I’ve removed any recent scripts etc used with my Google docs.

Can you use a mail client like live mail to download the e-mails rather than going to the GMail site and see if you still get the alerts
