Trojan Found

Post by someguy »

After downloading Bzflag from the German Mirror (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bzfl ... irror=mesh) the computer had problems that necessitated a restart. When I got the desktop back the setup program had disappeared.

Several days later Firefox/gAim stopped working. IE/Aim worked fine though.

I ran Spybot and it discovered a trojan 'Freshbind'.

Spybot successfully removed this trojan and now everything works fine. I've also scanned for viruses with several different scanners... nothing has been found. I'm crossing my fingers.

we build those installers ourselves. There is no "trogan" or "spyware" in them at all. More then lilely you had the malware for a while and it just finaly reared its head.

Take it from the 1,000,000+ users that have downloaded it, it's fresh and clean :).

I don't like the seemingly Microsoft virus coming along and destroying everything that's open source...

is it posible for you to make a post on a topic and STAY on topic? This isn't about your private little browser war.
