I came online late today around 4pm and first i hit comcast as thats my isp, but my main homepage is yahoo, and as soon as i click thu avst! went nuts and sirens went off and i hit the abort connection, and seem to have avoided the virus, but it was some kind of trojan.
Anyone else get this?? Were they hacked you think?? I haden't gone anywhere but yahoo yet and just did a full virus and spysweep last night while relaxing.

a lot, i think they did succed but it was fixed in seconds. It freaked me out i wasnt expecting it, if it was a tgp or something i would have had my hand on the trigger finger as they are nothing but virus factories these days.

Avast is great, love its siren. Kaspersky on the other hand, is great too, but damn it has a squealing pig alert for when it encounters a threat... and man it is a shrill sound, but you sure do notice it.

Didn't hit or see Yahoo today but I did click a CCBill link and I keep getting the 'fraud warning' for sites with the CCBIll links with the "&HTML=" in Opera. Of course me and the progammer that wrote Opera are the only 2 users but I think this had something to do with a 'virus definitions' or 'fishing site' database that some common security softwares use as well.
A couple ppl had the same issue with their anti-virus a couple months back, I was just wondering if this is still happening or Opera?
