Virus on GOLDRING GAME site
Mar 19 2010, 1:18 PM EDT
Since around the end of January, every time I visit the Goldring home page I end up with malware on my computer. It is always a fake anitvirus malware. This malware hides in your pc until you restart your computer, and then it attacks. This malware seems to get past the AVG 9.0 antivirus application and it's harder than Hades to get rid of.I know it's on GoldRing, trust me. They need to find it and kill it. Do you find this valuable? |

This malware seems to get past the AVG 9.0 antivirus application and it's harder than Hades to get rid of.We believe this issue has been resolved as of Feb 5, but if you have recently seen something like a fake anti-virus pop-up when visiting a Wetpaint site we need to know about it. You should also make sure that your system is clean. In addition to a good anti-virus application you should install and run a reputable anti-spyware/adware application. Do you find this valuable? |
