sundevil777 102 #1 July 4, 2007 I use Webroot Spy Sweeper, and it has repeatedly found and quarantined trojan-pushu in the last couple days. The program describes it as a really dangerous little bugger! I think I might have been getting it from the game site gamespot.com, which my kids had been visiting. Of course we'll no longer be visiting that site. I don't see a way within Spy Sweeper to "scan" a particular website, and I don't see any detail about its origin. Is there a way to confirm that this site is the culprit? I think products like Spy Sweeper should also have offensive weaponry to attack such culprit websites! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 102 #4 July 4, 2007 Aren't there websites where you can determine if a site has any viruses, spyware, etc. without actually visiting the site yourself?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

sundevil777 102 #6 July 4, 2007 Quotegamespot.com does not give out virus's/// its prolly something that was downloaded from some file sharing program I can't think of anything like that I've been using. Perhaps you can tell me what might be a file sharing program that I don't realize is such a thing. Maybe a particular game on that site. I did a full sweep with McAfee and found no problems, Spy Sweeper hasn't found anything since we've stayed off gamespot.com. Aren't there websites that allow you to scan a website for trouble without actually visiting the site yourself?People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

PhreeZone 20 #7 July 4, 2007 Try using www.siteadvisor.com Its a decent reference that will give a green, red or yellow rating to each site. Best of all there is a free plug in to your browser that will show the rankings on a search page if you use google or any major search engine. It works on Firefox or IE. If Spy-sweeper is finding the file name you can get McAfee to detect it also if you send them a copy at www.webimmune.net. Its a free service to their business customers but you can use it too and they will add the detection the next day usually if not for that day.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #8 July 4, 2007 Thanks for the link to siteadvisor. After searching for more info on the term "trojan-pushu", it looks like there is some chatter about it being a possible false positive, fixed with later versions of Spy Sweeper definitions. So, perhaps it was nothing after all.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
