Heads-Up for Anyone that visits Shooters Forum
« on: August 11, 2012, 07:10:50 AM »
My PC Anti-Virus and firewall has detected shootersforum.com as being infected with trojan.agent.brvgen the last three times I've visited there, if you visit the site, you may well be infected and don't know it if you're not running good internet protection software. I suggest you download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a complete scan to detect and remove this serious trojan threat that comes with the visit.  :-X

Thank you Tim!!

I don't go there often, and haven't been for some time, BUT I was looking for a good anti-malware program.

I use Avira Internet Security 2012 which is what identified it and blocked it, first by notifying me that a program was trying to open a TCP connection which I denied, then it wanted to open a Microsoft application which I also denied. MWB found it, quarantined and removed it. This scenario repeated each time I visited the site while I was there, so it didn't come from anywhere else, each time I had already ran a scan prior that morning. I also deleted all restore points to prevent Win7 from seeing it as an OS file and restoring it on the next restart, then created a new restore point after it was gone for sure.
