Trojan from 4shared?

[grip]

Hi All,

My AV software just stopped a "trojan" whilst I was on 4shared, has anyone else had a similar issue with 4shared at all?

Strangely, there is only 1 site on a google search listing it as Malware, so its possibly a catchpenny to get you to buy their Trojan removal software. I feel uncomfortable with these sort of things.

The Domain name of the "trojan" was buyelephant.in

Kind regards,


grip

Hi grip,
I think I remember someone else saying something similar about 4shared a few months ago. It turned out that only the one person experienced it as far as I can know or remember.
Regards,
Charlie

I`ve not had a problem (yet). But I occasionally get scams that pretend to be antivirus reports about trojans. I immediately disconnect from the .net and scan my system with McAfee, Spybot and if I`m feeling really thorough I then use Trend Micro Housecall.
Time consuming but worth it for the peace of mind
