VBS:trojano-436 Trojan help needed

Viruses and worms
1

I got infected with this trojan by browsing a website in firefox.

“sign of VBS:trojano-436 [trj] has been found in http://69.50.173.252/index.html file.”

the only option Avast gave me was to abort the connection.

How do I delete or move this file to the chest? Of all the trojans I’ve gotten I don’t think I’ve ever seen an option of moving it to the chest. I’m still not sure why Avast is notifying me of these trojans but yet it isn’t actually stopping them.

Hi vht,

The warning you got is from the new avast webshield which only became available in 4.6.
The webshield stops the infection (by letting you press abort), way before it even gets near to your system, so if you got this warning, you are not infected.

BTW, i tried the site as well, defiantly infected, i suggest you do not go there anymore so to be safe. :wink:

thank you.

I was under the impression that I was infected by it because of the alarm and the spoken “a virus is on your computer.”

Not true. You had another option also. Namely, just closing the warning window ;)

Besides, Atrivo (the owner of that IP) is know for spreading malware so why would you want to go there in the first place…

Eddy,

If you just close the window it still aborts the connection.

Closing the windows doesn’t abort the connection here.

So if you close the window standart shield should detect it?
