So what should I scan my PC with aside from MSE thanks to the malware here?

[Jumpem]

Is MSE enough? Or should I get SuperAntiSpyware or something else?

The issue is being worked on, sorry about this issue. Please see the thread in FI.

I use MSE and it doesnt stop anything because they modify the code every hour by a byte or two to avoid detection. Sometimes its 500kb other times is 297kb or even 777kb, but its the same dam crap over and over and MSE doesnt do anything.

I report everything I find to MS Malware Detection Center so they can update the virus definitions but they modify the virus code so fast now, they cant keep up. Its a dam shame.

I use IE, but might go to Chrome so at least I get a warning page. IE gives no warning at all!

Or you could get a real anti-virus/spyware.
Oh yeah and it's a trojan, but it's getting stopped by what I run.

To be sure it's getting stooped I'm also running a full system scan, but so far that has found nothing.

Such as?

 

[n7]

Malware Bytes, SuperAntispyware, Spybot S & D, Counterspy, Kaspersky.

I'm currently scanning the system with Malwarebytes. But avast is what has been blocking it.
Avira also tends to catch stuff nothing else I have ever used does. Those are all free.

For paid stuff check the security forum.

I checked my computer with HiJackThis and didn't see anything problematic using their online-automatic analyzer.

Malwarebytes is the cat's meow. I had MSE installed on a coworker's personal PC. It didn't block one of the Windows Antivirus malware things.. but I still think it's the best free antivirus.

 

[JM Aggie08]

mbam + combofix. mse is good for monitoring, and the full scan is pretty pro...but that's about it.

 

[PsiStar]

I just did add Ad-Aware ... again AND Spybot-SD to all of my systems. I am pretty careful about get opened up what web sites which machine ever goes to.

After a year of not using either just to see ... and ... Spybot caught a lot and Ad-Aware caught 2 more! So fine, they are part of the uniform again.

I haven't been getting any warnings. Should I be worried?

I haven't heard anything from people running Norton. May not be free but it's the best there is period. I will not cheap out on computer security so I use Norton.

 

[Matthiasa]

Norton best...lol
/checks sarcasm meter...

Really though, Norton not detecting it means that those people got it.

No norton not detecting it means it doesn't exist. Alot of false positives from the free antivirus programs.
Go to this website and find a better performing program. Avcomparitives is the standard in antivirus program testing.

Thanks for playing.

It wasn't a false positive, maybe you missed the whole tread on it where even anand actually posted about it.

I realize there was a virus but I said I hadn't heard any complaints from Norton users and I probably won't.

Um, I just got the pixel of doom and I have flashblock. Am I doomed?

Are you using NoScript and AdBlock Plus?

 

[Hacp]

Are you using NoScript and AdBlock Plus?

No, I'm using simple flashblock.

 

[pyonir]

No, I'm using simple flashblock.

In Firefox right?

Add-on NoScript and ABP.

 

[Hacp]

Should I do a safemode scan with malwarebytes?

I would.

Lol @ norton.

So all of the student machines that i repair and clean that have an active norton subscription are still running the "best" anitvirus software. When it comes down to it, Norton is bulky and hogs system resources like a motherfucker. Not to mention it's a bitch to remove. Symantec even went as far as releasing a removal tool for the suite, which I have to use about 9/10 to get rid of the dam program.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Use this, http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix .

It won't work on 64-bit or 7 machines, but for any other windows OS it works like a charm.
That's are first step in malware removal at work, and it pretty much nukes everything that mbam and spybot won't find.
