Forums - Website Topics - McAfee Virus Scan Plus has been detecting trojans on the website...

Yeah, it's true. It mainly occurs on the main page, but I usually get notified by my McAfee software up to 3-4 times of a trojan trying to get into my laptop's system. I DO NOT think anything bad has happened to my computer, but it all started either at the beginning of this week or so...but since Tuesday, I have been using my laptop to play music when I play music during naptime at my job (I work at a daycare with children, so don't bash...lol I love working with children), my music starts skipping (ESPECIALLY when I have the volume up) and had woke up some of the children. Then after the skipping, the laptop goes onto a blue screen saying that the computer has encountered an error and needs to shut down. It now has occured once a day since Tuesday's logging onto VGChartz's home page.

I think that whatever is loading onto the website's advertisements has a trojan or a few in the flash animation sales ads. Could ioi or anyone who is in charge of the website's layout/coding look into this? I think whatever these 'trojans' are may not only affect my computer (since it warns me with my McAfee software), but may affect other people if they DO NOT have some form of virus scanning and could potentially screw up their computers as well. Can someone look into this situation??



Around the Network

my Kaspersky has found a trojan on the main page for the first time today as well, i wonder whats going on.



Mac Scan picked up a Trojan on OSX, but may not be related to VGC. I encountered another site that Firefox flagged around the same time which was probably the origin.

Strange though since it's the first Trojan I've encountered since OSX went online back in 2001. I should have kept a copy to decompile and study.



We'll kick those Trojan's asses! Madness? THIS IS VGCHARTZ!!!!



I also detected a Trojan on vgchartz.



Around the Network

Same (on avast). I sent a message to one of the mods so hopefully it's been duly noted.
