NOOOO!!! I got a virus!

[sail3005]

I just was doing a routine virus check, and norton came up with this: Backdoor.Sadman.Dr. It says that my computer is infected with that...Does anyone know what that is? Norton was pretty vague on the description. Is it a trojan or something?

[denniswrenn]

Backdoor is usually the same thing as trojan... They both use a "backdoor" or a "trojan horse" to get into your computer...

I've never heard of that particular one, but you should have Norton disinfect the file, or delete it.

[sail3005]

i had to delete a few of my files. Somehow it infected some of my html pages...

[parksie]

Erm...how can it infect an HTML page? And even if it does, just open it in notepad and delete any suspicious code, since notepad won't (can't ) execute it.

Tut! Careless!

Solution to all your problems (including those of a sexual nature : Get a firewall. And viagra.

[scoutt]

are you sure you read that right?? the closest thing I could find on that was backdoor.sadmind (NAV) either it is a new virus or something triggered norton. McAfee has nothing on the one you suggested.

there are possibilities of a program or something triggering norton and it isn't a virus. I have read on a popular program (can't remember what program it was off the top of my head) that it will trigger virus scanners as a virus but actually it wasn't.

I'm with Parksie on this one, how can it infect an html page?

So Sail got a virus through backdoor activities My suggestion is to go to a clinic and get it checked out.

That's two threads today

[sail3005]

I was curious also as to how it infected my html pages. But, all is well once again in the land of my computer. I was going to format anyway, and so after i got the virus, i just figured enough was enough, and formatted. I am virus free now.

when making a direct connection to another computer, always use condoms!

There are two types of people in the world

Those that are serious in threads

And those who drag them into the gutter

Good work lads.

[spetnik]

well, in chit-chat, the threads are already in the gutter. And if one's not, it usually gets dragged in .

[Jethro]

It's a gift really

[Wynd]

Hehe, no kidding, for a thread to be in chit chat it is almost a prerequisite to be in the gutter.

If it ain't it soon will be...............which reminds me this thread is creeping out

[Wynd]

Good point, we must send it back!

I know why Sail is virus-free now, he used a trojan...in backdoor activities...

[Jethro]

......................LOL..............................

Well going by his name must be a sailor, or even in the navy

And we all know the reputation of Navy people. Probably has fun time down under during the Mardi Gras.

*sings "In the navy" by the village people*

[sail3005]

grrr.........

[scoutt]

I can just here Sail.

I get no respect... no respect...

[Jethro]

Another thread consigned to the gutter. You all are playing in our territory now Sail.

Scoutt, am waiting for dirty disgusting comment dude, or are you and Sail special friends

[Wynd]

Why client/server connecting is like teenage sex

It is on everybody's mind all the time.

Everyone is talking about it all the time.

Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it.

Almost no one is really doing it.

The few who are doing it are:

• doing it poorly;
• sure it will be better next time;
• not practicing it safely.

[scoutt]

oh ya I forgot.

if he got it from the backdoor and they used a trojan HORSE, (probably some black man), man I bet that hurt, but it could have been just a worm with no trojan like bill gates. gets in a creates all kinds of trouble, like computer AIDS. he he

is that better
