Every night, my AntiVirus runs automatically. I just went into the logs to see it. View --> View log files --> Virus scan. I don't know why there are no logs for the real time protection.
I got the same message "trojan found mhtredir.gen" from mcafee this morning when I clicked on the Surf Report thread, also I got the same message last week when ramoutar was talking about it here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31930 I stayed out till now and seems to be OK now.
I, too, get 2-3 warnings on every ET page for the last couple of days (possibly since my last McAfee update on Saturday). Today, the files involved look like: C:\Documents and Settings\Alan\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CPERS9AJ\forumdisplay[1].php\00000e6d.js Yesterday, it was referring to ...count[1].js\count.js Again, it's complaining that this is "Exploit-MhtRedir.gen". {Edit: Posting this message, it complained about ...newreply[2].php\000010a0.js . There must be some common code that ET is using that looks (or is?) dangerous}.
I just received this same Trojan Virus warning from my McAfee just because I logged-into ET. I didn't even click on my e-mail or go to a post or a Forum for that matter. Nothing else was up and running besides IE and ET. This has been happening a lot lately, ever since about 2 weeks ago.
I am seeing this Trojan on the ET site for the first time today. I was not seeing it yesterday. Nobody wants to have scripting code forcefully loaded & executed on their machine (against their will) to support re-directs and pop-up advertsing.... I expect it is some of the associated ET advertising that is causing this issue. Can the ET owners take a look at the problem and eliminate the root cause. Thanks, - Greg
i use opera (when viewing ET), and on opera, i have java / javascript on, but all outside plug-ins and popups off. i have NOT received the redirect virus from ET with those parameters. (and i did get it in my cache from a baseball site).
Funny I use BOTH IE and Firebird and I NEVER have gotten ONE virus alert or have had ANY problems with ANY thread or ANY post here. I use a real-time virus scammer AND web-based one... Isn't that funny. go figure.
I had nothing but problems with IE....including virus and browser hi-jack problems. All problems 100% gone....not one situation since I switched to Firefox. You will never regret it. I run AVG, Adaware, and Zonealarm and all sweeps come up squeaky clean. Elite Trader surfs clean, no problems.
