Virus Problem

Postby artyman » Mon May 09, 2022 9:06 am

I've not been able to get into Charlie Halls website for a couple of days, my Anti Virus blocks it with this warning
HTML Script-inf[Susp]

Has anyone else experienced a problem.

I just clicked on it and Charlies Site came straight up no problem, so it must be your end.

Have you tried a different browser e.g. Firefox or Brave?
If it works with those it helps narrow down your problem.

Cheers,

https://charliehall.proboards.com/

I just tried that in:

Google Chrome,
MS Edge,
Mozilla Firefox
and
AVG Secure Browser.

It came up immediately on all of them.

No problems for me using Windows 7, Firefox, Bitdefender and Malwarebytes.

If you do a web search you will find this seems to be a known virus, some of these sites have software “fixes” for it, but I woud be equally careful as there is no telling how legitimate they are!

One or two are suggesting that it's false positive, but if it's not then you may well be passing it to your contacts!

It’s very unlikley that there is anything untowards on Charlie Hall’s website, it’s possible you may have clicked a link or downloaded something dodgey and it’s become attached to various legitimate files, in this case I would be inclined to suspect a browser web cache. If you have supported Anti-Virus (usaully a paid subscriiption) it may be a good idea to drop them an Email for advice on the most effective removal.

If the reports are as described it attaches the payload in several locations, is difficult to remove and opens a gateway to further infections, I would be inclined to use one of the well known virus removal tools and do a deep scan of the machine, with anything of this nature it’s often better to do it in safe mode so that no drivers are loaded and it gives you the best chance of it not automatically loading at boot If you have software that cleans all web caches and resets the browser, it would be a good idea to run this afterwards and probably change your password on Charlie’s website.

Don’t forget that if you run back-up's or have secondary disks these may well be infected, so should also be scanned.
