We are aware of the virus alerts on our network sites. Our Technical Team is currently looking into the cause of these alerts. While trying to locate the problem we will be shutting down certain aspects of our sites; search, ads, plus, etc. We thank you for your patience while we repair this issue and hope to have it resolved shortly.

At this moment, we are fairly sure that for a couple of hours our sites have been the source of a trojan downloader. There was an exe file named jihe.exe that could be loaded on a visitor's computer under the following circumstances:
1) The browser was Internet Explorer
2) ActiveX support was on in the browser
3) No proper virus scanner was used

We've had reports that AVG, Norton and McAfee did find the trojan, but on my personal install (McAfee 11.1 DAT version 4916) the file did not trigger the scanner. I sent it to McAfee for closer inspection, but no answer has come yet. I would suggest that everyone who is unsure about their computer's safety at this moment download the free AVG virus scanner from http://free.grisoft.com/ and perform a scan.

Re: Virus Alerts (Stratics)

Update from Stratics



That Cursed Virus!

Greetings All:

As you can see, the Stratics Sites are once again available. The virus we discovered yesterday has been removed and the source of the virus has been eliminated.

You would be well-advised to scan your computer's hard disk in search of any viruses that may have been injected if you visited any of our sites during the past couple of days. As you know, there are people who have nothing more to do with their time than to cause pain to others with utter disregard for our privacy.

While researching this problem, we found a couple of security vulnerabilities. Those have been modified to tighten up the security on all of our sites. Hopefully, we found them all.

Thank you very much for your patience while we eradicated this virus and made our sites much more secure. And thanks to all who donated their time and the information they found that indicated the problems. It's very much appreciated.
