Suvetar Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.10.09 15:37:00 - [1] Hi Everyone, As you probably noticed, we've had a surfeit of posts linking to a shady looking URL recently; as you will no doubt imagine this is indeed a piece of malware that is designed to steal your Username and Password and who knows what else. So surf safe, don't click any links tempting you to hack EVE and rest assured that your friendly local mod team are doing everything we can to get the forums back on track! Thanks! forum rules \| [email protected] \| Our new Website!

Xorus Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.10.09 16:45:00 - [3] With the recent postings of links to keyloggers on the internet we have the following advice to give our forum users, firstly if you don't already have an Anti-Virue program we suggest you get one, there are a number of free products for home users including AVG Free Edition, Avast Home Edition and Avira AntiVir, all of these are free for home users, if you already have an Anti-Virus program make sure its up to date as having an out of date AV program is almost as bad as not having one at all. Always be careful what you download on the EVE Forums as you never know what it might contain, things like EVEMon and Quickfit are safe to download as they have been tested and are from trusted sources, always be careful of any links posted on these forums as you never know what it may contain, ensure all your security software is up to date before clicking links. --- Wanna Buy a Goat??- Tirg Member of the 'Kaemonn is My Hero' club Member of the "Immy's Bald Head Appreciation Society" Xorus is currenly off duty counting trees in Siberia. -Ivan K How much is that goaty in the window, baaa baaaa - Cortes (Secretary, Bald Head Appreciation Society) All your sig are belong to me - Tanis

Kaemonn Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.10.10 00:59:00 - [8] Sometimes in order to delete a file or piece of malware off your computer you have to be in safe mode. To do this press F8 as your computer is booting. This will start windows with just the absolute minimum to stay running. From there you can delete what you will. forum rules \| [email protected] You mean to tell me, theres a game that goes with the forums?


Suvetar Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.10.10 06:06:00 - [9] Yes, just to clarify folks: CSRSS.Exe is an important file for Windows and if you delete the wrong one, it may break your installation but good If you search your drive for CSRSS, you should only find it in the following locations: Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ Windows\Prefetch (it will have a name called CSRSS(numbers).PF Windows\System32 Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 If you right click each of the EXE's (not the PF one) and go to the Version tab, the number should be at between 5.1.2600 .0 and 5.1.2600.2180. Also check the file details; it should be something like this, depending on your language and service pack: Company: Microsoft Corporation File Version: 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Internal Name: CSRSS.Exe Language: English (United States) Original File Name: CSRSS.Exe Product Name: Microsoft« Windows« Operating System Product Version: 5.1.2600.2180 Hope this helps And a big thanks to the other people who've taken their time to help solve this problem for anyone unlucky enough to have clicked this link. forum rules \| [email protected] \| Our new Website!


Xorus Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.10.10 10:42:00 - [10] Originally by: cRaNbErRy MuFfInMaN i have firefox and had clicked on the link thinking it was a joke and it popped up a download which i rejected do i have to worry about this? im so paranoid i think ill wipe this hardrive clean this weekend =/ long and hard process As for what i've read its using an exploit in IE which is obviously not present in FF, i visit a few sites that like to throw trojans and virii at me but i either get prompts to download a strangely named .exe file or my AV (avast) kicks up a message saying the connection contains [Virus name here] with an abart connection message but yes as i mentioned if you don't have any AV i suggest you get some :)Process Explorer also a freeware tool but provides better information than task manager does and also allows you to kill off a few more processes than task manager :) --- Wanna Buy a Goat??- Tirg Member of the 'Kaemonn is My Hero' club Member of the "Immy's Bald Head Appreciation Society" Xorus is currenly off duty counting trees in Siberia. -Ivan K How much is that goaty in the window, baaa baaaa - Cortes (Secretary, Bald Head Appreciation Society) All your sig are belong to me - Tanis
