Potential Harmful Virus/Trojan Zbot

Postby eatramel on October 21st, 2009, 1:46 am

I was attempting to open the fsi-language-courses.org last night and my anti-virus software detected 5 threats.

They are attached to the German, French and Spanish links. I could not see how, but I thought that before someone downloads one of these harmful spyware programs, that it would be prudent for the site admin to deal with it accordingly. But reading about Zbots, the intention is to steal banking info and send it back to the malware users.
Please be aware.

thanks

While this has been true for some time for the .com site, I haven't been able to find any scripts of this kind on the .org site. Are you sure that you weren't at the .com site when receiving the warnings?
