Why does the Java plug-in keep attempting to run for every page on this forum?
Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-0507.D
Please look into this asap, I got it when visiting the general discussion forum.
Links to malware from 51yes.com
anyone else getting this? Every time I open this bookmark (none of my others do this) I get this java exploit warning, and I have these boxes in front of the links..........
the deets:
Had same problem. Disabled java for now just to be safe. Seems like it's not only Avast so there might be something to this.
Kaspersky didnt say anything. Running NoScript though, which might have stopped it.
It's trying to download malware, do a virus scan and clear your temp files asap if you accepted the applet.
Didn't have Java disabled and Avast kept blocking a trojan from this page. It might be just Avast playing tricks, but better be safe than sorry. Maybe someone should look into this?You can delete or merge this into Kazyn's thread. Seems like he opened one simultaneously.
I think this was worth of a repost since I know that some of you guys, pretty much only browse the SPF.
EDIT: For those of you who don't know how to detect/remove it, Bowser has told me that he's going to post a little walkthrough for how to do that. And it's going to be in the same forum as the link below.Originally Posted by Bowzer

This might be overkill, but just to be safe:
1) Copy and paste this into a text document, save it and reboot your computer with your modem unplugged.
2) Go into control panel and re-enable microsoft security essentials (if you have it) as this malware will attempt to disable any anti-viruses you currently run.
3) run a scan on
file:C:\Users\User*\AppData\Local\Temp\
The exploits can be found in there.
Remove the infection
4) Clear out the cache of your java runtime environment and disable automatic cacheing of java files.
Click the little Java icon in the bottom right of your desktop, search around until you find clear cache.
Then click network settings and uncheck keep temporary files on my computer.
5) Clear all your temp files and documents including temp system files.
Right click on your C drive then go properties, disk cleanup, then then follow the steps to remove all temp files.
Reboot and you should be fine.
