Hi.. you all
I would like to bring your attention to a very scary Trojan, which infected my PC [b]7 times already while serving many forums in just one day. Anti-Virus software don't seemed to be able to stop or detected at all, can't even scan for it. Had to use Anti-spyware to sniff it out, don't even know your are infected.
Trojan.StartPage.Gen
Only tell tale sign is when you are directed to another site, if your computer security is low or you are not using a good malware.
I could not log into those forums. Which made me curious. I checked my firewall and found nothing wrong. I then Disable it .. also nothing wrong. But when I disable all my anti-spyware programs, only then I was directed to other advertising sites.
I usually gets it when I tried to login into forums. What it does, is it embedds five entries into your computer registry, whether you have an active anti-virus or anti-spyware program.. don't seemed to stop it.
Later, I found out that even downloading videos file, also will get infected
BTW.. the free Ad-aware anti-spyware program don't work.\
So guys.. just giving you a heads up..
take care.

Video file in zip? the originator video must be hot and someone paid $$$ him to put in a trojan. He may be paid according to the hits to the payer website.Originally posted by MobyDog:.
I also was infected once while opening a video file in zip format. So anti-virus mjost likely won't detect it also.

Ad-aware is only for very simple users, who just know how to scan and click to remove. It is very basic.Originally posted by MobyDog:Aye...
I am using the latest version of Zone alarm firewall, Spyware blaster, Norton 2005, Ad-aware, spybot. To give me layered protection.
I have tried avast. I don't like avast and uninstalled it months ago.
With all the that above, the trojan got thru anyway, and couldn't even able to detect it.
Only Spyware doctor did, I truly recommend it. It has detected more adware than those mention above. The active Onguard real-time function is really great. I subscribed it yeaterday
I have uninstalled ad-aware. It's crap
Check it out.
