I forgot this also, for Popups you should have this blocked this would of helped alot of FF users if they had this turned on.

Tools, Options then Content

Where its says pop up blockers, just put a check mark into that.
Guess it must be me that I have never been caught with an online malware or trojan flyby as I keep up with things, but you don't expect the average person to know all the crap that is out there, and believe me its increasing

Last to date 1,000 infected websites and growing daily, its up to the admins of the pages to be up to date with all the modules and coding the use.  Its a daunting task, so don't blame renderosity, its happens to loads of sites even the security ones get caught with their pants down once in a while lol.

But as for IFRAME eploits if this one was one, then that is not good as it was first reported in 2004, no excuse to not have this plugged up.  For Windows XP Users you better be running at Least SP2 for this trojan not to infect your pc, but from what I can see in other Forums for Trojan and malware reporting seems allot of people take online browsing as a joke.

And on a happy note, the rate of infection for Malware and Trojans on Warez sites and P2S has increased 80%, so I am happy for these people serves them right.

The only reason I know a bit more than the average person is I report the nasty bugs day in day out.  People are totally unaware how dangerous it is online.

lol... I know someone who uses p2p like his life depends on it; he has no av installed -- but the kicker is, he's an IT guy with in-depth knowledge of computers.

Rarely do you get to see this mixture of stupidity. lmao

Annie thanks for the Shields up heads up.

It's much appreciated.

Jeez he should no better but not to feel bad,  my hubby has just been roasted by me for getting his pc infected by visiting a forum on GPS of all things, looks like java was on his pc, he never listen and now he has to learn to remove it I am not helping this time lol

Trojan Horse Dropper.Agent.JOC seems to be the flavor of choice this week.

You are welcome Daidalos...I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.   :biggrin:

An official statement from the Renderosity administration could help a lot. The Red Hat (and Fedora) servers were recently hacked and they described the attack (afterwards, they were probably a bit busy during.)

My credit card number is going nowhere near a Renderosity Marketplace server until then.

Hi MyCat,

It's on page 2.

Thanks KarenJ. (I'm probably a bit too paranoid, but it beats being not paranoid enough.)

Hi Everyone!

I want to give you all the information you need to ensure your browsing protection at Renderosity and at other websites.

Renderosity experienced an unauthorized file injection incident last night and one a week ago. Our technical staff cleaned off the effected areas of the site in less than an hour both times. Since then the programmers and network system administrators have been busy trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again and tracking down the perpetrator in hopes of some legal recourse.

We obtained at lot more valuable information this time, and we have put more safeguards in place. One of those safeguards is to block those with malicious intent, and another is a new version of our Bondware software. This new version of Bondware helps detect and prevent the file injection type of attacks. The detection message gives the warning message:

"Bondware Guard: Suspicious input detected and logged. Aborting ... "

However, it is highly possible that we have filtered out some of the Bondware software’s legitimate scripts in our enthusiasm. Please keep in mind that if you see this message, it may not really be suspicious activity. We ask that you please report this to admin@renderosity.com if you see it so we can fix the legitimate site functions. We hope you can appreciate this precautionary measure we are taking for your safety.

Please also note that our Bondware software does not store any credit card information, and we go above the PCI card protection requirements. We have always taken this security in order to increase the protection of your personal info.

As always, we strongly recommend everyone to always use anti-virus software and reject any and all unsolicited download prompts when visiting ANY website because this type of Trojan is attacking several other large, popular sites.

Thank you for understanding.

Jenifer

PS - edited to add that if anyone is still having a problem it is simply just your cache needing to be cleared out.

Thank you very much for the info, Jennifer. :)
