Just had a virus, which cleared out all my Inet browser cache's and bookmarks, I've cleared it and figured everything was ok.


Rather than guess at the URL's I had stored, I used google to find them and then click on the URL from there.... However, even though I used the Aussie only part of google to find westpac.... I got the following as the No1 result when I typed in "westpac"

I'm a tad worried now.... should I be ?


Methinks Inet banking is not an option untill I find out why I got a russian result (after quiet a delay)....

Anyone got any advice. I've not seen this before...

Just checked to see if the link pointed to a spoofed page, doesn't appear to be...

Apologies to any russians but really, that script is just plain daft I think it's just Google being Google. It really winds me when I put in Aus sites only and I get a list full of American sites. If I wanted American I would ask for it

But he's got Russian this time? (or some kind of cyrillic?)
maybe its the Google language setting?
set under preferences or advanced search

God knows why it finds what appears to be russian site, but I am not accessing Westpac for a while now !!!

ozzieeagle

nope the Language setting is fine, I suspect it's more to do with Google than Westpac though.


However I'm not even game to do a Balance check today :scared:

FYI, the viris prior to me noticing this google glitch, Was Trojan horse BDD click, which apparently is a low grade virus.


It was brought in by my 7 year old son, in his endeavours to download anything to do with the Band Gorrilaz, via limewire. It's his first computer virus... Ahhhhhh Yes I know I Shouldn't do my banking where there are downloads happening via Peer to peer, I got a tad complacent.

I dont know whether to be a proud dad, or an annoyed dad lol, I've been through this virus catching stuff 3 times before with my other kids lol.

Download anti-spyware programmes - some things can mess about in registry pointing you to ruski porno-warez search sites (what you got).

ad-aware is one and I forget the other - but a quick look on www.tucows.com for ad-aware will bring up similar ones. These are free - I think the other might be called Spybot.

After a full clean with these two - if it still comes up then I would
- Download firefox or internet installer programme for a fresh install (but dont run it)
- Uninstall internet explorer
- re-run the spyware cleaner pgms (both)
- re-run full virus scan + check
- reboot
- re-install firefox or internet explorer from the one you downloaded 1st.

then if that doesnt work give up and beat the child with a stick

Edit : just use the opportunity to switch to firefox its a gazilion times nicer than Internet explorer and comes iwth built in anti-maliciousness like pop-up-blockers..

Ok so read the thread properly now (!) - do get spyware things.

I googled and got the same.

Sounds like Vestpac has been bought out by our brothers in the west.

Thanks spalan, do you reckon westpac are safe at present lol ???

If your at all worried your computer. Download this file

http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Save the result to a text file. Then start a new thread on the following fourm

http://forums.techguy.org/54-security/

Ask them nicely to analyse your file. They will tell you if there is anything malicous running.

Also definitely worth getting Ad-Aware from

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

That will tell you if you've got any spyware running on your computer.

Thanks stokesy, wasnt aware of the Techguy mob.

Its also worth downloading the Google search bar thingy - they also have reasonable pop up blockers etc..

And finally try installing AVG anti virus - its very good and free !! (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5)
