The last two times I have logged in to this site from my work computer, Virus Scan has picked up a JS/Wonka virus. I am about as computer savvy as the Pope is Casanova, so I was hoping someone can tell me what this means and perhaps if I have anything to worry about since my home computer software (AVG) detected nothing. Thanks?

I have seen the same thing the last two days and one of our members had an exchange with his IT department about some other issues (or the same one, not sure yet).
I have no answers yet, but I'm looking into it. |

Are you using McAfee? I get a pop up sometimes for this virus, I'm not sure if it's valid.

I've seen it the last two days. The question is, did McAffe update or did we catch something?
I'll have to get after it tonight. I can't do anything from work. That link has a place to refer "invalid occurences" for them to look at. Did anyone send them the frrax link for their input? (I can't do it from work) and see if they see it? |

The sum total of my knowledge is in the first post. I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful but the brand of software is determined by my corporation and my level of computer knowledge is generously described as limited.

I got it first yesterday, a few others have seen it since Sunday. I use Norton at home, and McAffee at work. So, we know that McAffee will pick it up and it started 3 days ago. That's good information to start with. I'll get with some people tonight and start turning over rocks and see what I can find out. |

I have McAffee and I've seen the notice on my laptop, my desktop, and at work since Sunday. I scanned the hard drives on my laptop and desktop and it found nothing. FWIW. |

let's have a tally, who's still using IE vs Firefox/Mozilla/Safari?
IE right now has a FULL REMOTE HOLE, as in go to a 'bad' site and they can run whatever they want on your computer!!!! MS of course refused to patch it for the past 6-7 months... i have no problems, but than again, i don't even know where IE is these days... |

Marcin, this is part of that stuff I sent you last night. I'm not sure it's all related, but it's what I was looking to bug you about. |

BTW, the description I get is:
QUOTE JS.Wonka is a generic detection of web pages or e-mail messages that contain a certain functionality for encrypting scripts that may have malicious intent. This does not necessarily mean that a virus has been found. It merely means that HTML code was found which attempts to activate additional executable code without the user's express permission. So, I guess if the site software has HTML code that points to a script that doesn't get a user permission to execute, it flags the potential for malicious code, not that it found any per se. Am I reading that right?Note: this detection may be triggered by merely visiting a web page that contains malicious code. It does not necessarily mean your machine has been compromised. If that's true, I would assume that because I've blocked JS execution, that's why I don't get the notice? |
