Aol Trojan threw html infection

[Mr.Blaze]

Ok so im guilty i went surfing threw the dark side under belly of the internet i know i know i shouldnt of been put some habits are hard to break.

Be warn there seems to be a nasty little buger i ran into today.

heres what happend i went to a web pg everything was fine till i click on a link.

set up i think because of my updated nortion and my security settings it didnt harm me as bad as it probly could have.

i got infected by some scripting maybe a small very small trojan it made a logo that look like aol logo in my zone alarm and set up shop.

and it *put an ip number on my za advance settings on other computer with a check mark in the box

i kept haveing two aol logos on za when i sighen on.

i finaly went into nortion and saw what was in quarinten a html aol logo unknowen i deleted the little buger

i also rember when i move my mouse on the fake aol logo on the za it said something like tcp port with a number of the port *very strange.

it looks like nortion got rid of it so i dont think its that big of a deal.

i guess since i found it i get to name it right arnt those the rules i name it Blaze lol.

To Pete if you intrested on where i found it ill give you the addy of where i got infected just send me a private message.

be warn its a dark side of the internet web site you know cough ummm appz.

and if it turn out im right rember when you submit it *to name it after me i discoverd it lol.

i always want something named after me lol.

Sir Blaze,

I'm tempted to say you did pay for warez after all - but I will refrain from that.

Nevertheless:

1) shut down and reboot in the safe mode;
2) run netstat -an in the MSDOS box;
3) note if any ports are open or in use
4) run a full deep scan with an updated good anti-trojan.

regards.

paul

Did you delete that one in the meantime? If not, try to do so.

And with respect to that new fake AOL-program in the ZA-Program-tab:
Don't give it any rights: no server-rights, no permission to make connection to the internet.

[Mr.Blaze]

ok results what ever it was it look like nortion got rid of it the first time around except it didnt reconize what it was but put it in quarintin anyways i deleted it.

i went into za and za did let me remove the *ip number with the check in it thx fan j good looking out.

i did what paul asked i *updated the cleaner and it found nothing so thats good.

i also notice my fire wall isnt going off ether that made me a little supctiose so i started montering za and its working fine the little icon moves when i load web pgs if it didnt i would know it was disabled.

everything is fine now still perty d.a.m.n scary figures it be me that runs into the relly wyrd stuff

that was the screwed up part i didnt *the only way i cought it was cause za showed another aol logo on the main box albove when you open it.

a real cheesy looking aol icon za didnt even prompt me with the useal do you want to give so and so app permistion pop up.

only way i new something fishy was up was the cheesy aol icon za monitored it but didnt catch the permistion thing.
