Hi Asyn,

The C-media Certificate was apparently stolen: http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/media/security_response/whitepapers/w32_duqu_the_precursor_to_the_next_stuxnet.pdf
And here F-Secure’s Mikko states that w32_duqu was made by the same makers of the previous Stuxnet malware: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002255.html

The report analyzes the content and activities of an online hacker forum with nearly 220,000 registered members, although many are dormant.

Hi,

I am a new user and hence unsure if this message is posted in the correct section.

Avast warns of a trojan the site <www.madrasgymkhanaclub.com> with the message

“Infection: js:Downloader-BAX [Trj]”

Screenshot attached. The webmaster insists there is no trojan on the site and other programs like Norton Security allow access to the site without warning.

How do I know if there is a threat or not ? Further is there any check / link for online verification of infected URLs /sites ?

Thanks

Ranjit

As mentioned this is in the wrong place and the site does appear to have been infected/hacked - Please ‘modify’ your post change the URL from http to hXXp or www to wXw, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites (as I did in the quoted text), thanks.

But a quick confirmation (no further input should be in this topic but its own new topic) - Avast isn’t the only thing which considers it infected http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ and check for yourself, image extract of results below.

@Skiggly
when/if you need help start you own topic wher you explain your problem…

do not post inside another topic…especially one that has nothing to do with your problem
