Just a suggestion to make sure all your anti-virus programs are fully operational after this was posted at TG earlier. Many of the responses indicated that other members had found the same thing.

Hopefully Brian will be able to locate the problem and deal with it.

My Norton just picked up a virus and deleted it when I came to TG....MHTMLRedir.Exploit

Anyone else find this?

Is it still there?

Dunno, but as I don`t go on TG all that often I`m happy enough to leave it for a few days till I next return.

I have done a bit more research and the only browser which is at risk is Internet Explorer.

Quote:
This threat contains specially-crafted, HTML code that can download and execute programs without prompting you. This threat only affects Microsoft Internet Explorer.

When visiting a Web page or receiving an HTML email that contains this threat, a file can be downloaded and executed. Under normal conditions, Internet Explorer would prompt you before allowing any executable content to be downloaded and executed on the system. This vulnerability in Internet Explorer allows specially crafted HTML to bypass this security prompt.

This detection prevents HTML files containing this vulnerability from being executed.

Brian Managed to isolate the problem and secure the whole which was allowing the guy to get in. This should no longer be a problem.
