***UPDATED! PS3 Forums Trojan is BACK! Dammit! ***

[Fangrim]

Hullos all!

First, thankies for the rep everyone - highly appreciated!

The trojan is back on the forums, asking you to install an activex object.

If you have installed this object, please use a virusscanner to remove the trojan horse.

If your virusscanner does not find anything suspicious, use another virusscanner.

PSU.com is also infected, it's the poll.php file again, just as last time.


Trojan is gone, so I thrashed this thread.

Yup.. Just saw that myself... Thanks and rep.. Someone really has this place screwed..

[Behemoko]

Firefox attempted to do stuff also. I couldn't close it without installing, so I just shut the browser in task manager instead, and when I re-opened the site, it didn't bother me.

Firefox didn't do anything for me, but I block anything I don't recognise with NoScript. I highly recommend the NoScript addon to anyone.

It's not Psu's fault though, it'll be part of the advert company that has "buy me!!!" splattered across our site..

[Tutankhamun]

Not good, good thing im on a MacBook then i guess!
But seriously this issue needs to be resolved ASP!

[San-J]

Yeah, it's pissing me off heavily.

DO SOMETHING PSU!

Thanks for that just installed it. Gotta love firefox you can add anything to it and runs so much better than IE.

[VintageElise]

Nothing for me on FireFox but mods have gota fix this.

[Nunalho]

Too late for me, i am making a scan right now.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Byoushinn]

im not seeing anything to ask me to install
did someone say its something to do with adverts on the site? im a subscriber so i dont see any adverts, maybe thats why

[bubano]

So basicly just avoid getting here.

You're welcome and I agree. I had to use IE a while back at an internet cafe for an hour and just small things like having to see ads annoyed me greatly!

[Assassin3]

Thanks for the information, I'm using FireFox so I guess it won't apply to the guys who use it? +Rep though thanks

[electricmine]

I had something that dealt with an install but luckily I didn't do it because I just fixed my computer after it crashed on me for no apparent reason.

I hope this is resolved. :/

I think it possibly is, aye. I've witnessed it on other sites in the past, and that's where it came from....


On a similar note, this mornin my browser crashed when I tried to come on here.. Just came up somethin bout Javascript died or somethin...

[Revenger92]

+Rep for finding out and warning us.

[Fangrim]

Updated main topic with more info about the culprit.

[carocat]

Yeah, that is the site I blocked in NoScript yesterday.

[Byoushinn]

aside from this problem, the forums are also experiencing a horrendous amount of slow down, and frequently go down all together, bringing up database errors or 'page cant not be displayed' errors, this happens a LOT, like probably ten times a day, and it seems to happen to everyone because numbers of people logged onto the forum is extremely low after it crashes. + theres been hardly any new threads/posts the past day or so.
apparently they're going to try and sort if next week, but it really does make coming to the forum too much hard work

[bubano]

Hmmm?
"The number you have called is not in use"
Too bad had to try.

LOL, what would you have said?!

[bubano]

Was just planning to order a pizza from the guy...

[Lionel Hutz]

Updated main topic with more info about the culprit.

Genius,+rep well deserved. Luckily, I only use Firefox and the PS3 to browse the Internet. I still can't believe that you noticed that page script code. I never would have noticed that. (Well that's probably due to the fact that I only know C++ and Matlab -no HTML or Java ).

[Tom1525]

Yeah man !!! i thought it was, but its ps3forums, its like wow, as if its been hacked up.

Pritty pathetic reali.

Hope Mods and stuff sort it out. its very serious.
