Yeah, still happening.

The work pcs AV is finding some trojan soon as I click on the site and then the whole pc freezes up.

It made the home PC have a heart attack and would not let IE stay online for more than 30 seconds so formatted the thing.

Came back on just now and when I open a page it then says its opening something else in the background called 196.regvista.com or similar and it then said its opening or starting applets or something. Im not PC literate so I have NFI if its bad or not.

I am doing the best I can, we are narrowing down their entry into the code. I am working with the team at IPB to get it fixed.

Guys, please use Firefox if possible until this is fixed as the exploit is only in IE.

This is one pesky little bugger. Please note, I am an accountant. I dont do IT and I in know way know what is techically happening. All i am posting is what happened to me.

As of yesterday 10 / 7 /06 about 4pm I opened Sau. As soon as i went into sau it opened up another Mozilla browser mirrioring the sau website and down the bottom said downloading information from regvista.com

I was in a Mozilla browser at the time. I did a virus & spam scan of the computer and it hadnt detected any virus / spam.

Was a bit scared as my cpu went into chug chug mode and slowed right down. I went to close both browsers but it wouldnt let me, then i went to end program on both browsers and it wasnt closing them even then. I quickly reset the computer.

I *think* this virus/mirror site etc CAN open another mozilla browser (as it definetly happened to me) but doesnt seem to be able to attach the virus to the computer.

Can anyone confirm that this has happened to them using mozilla?

Hi PurpleR32, Mozilla browsers may try to open it as the code is forcing any browsers to open it, but once opened it will only take advantage of a vulnerability in IE.

Does that make sense?

Either way, its been a while since we were infected as we made a few changes to the security and it looks like its working.

Perfect Sense. It explained the reason why it opened up another browser and i didnt get the virus and why my anti-virus didnt go spastic saying it had detected something. However I still couldnt close ANY of the browsers at all. Only a reset / reboot fixed the problem

Thankyou for your hard work and efforts

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
