Scour Redirect/Bloodhound.Exploit Trojan

Wanted to raise the red flag on a virus I caught whilst pokin’ around the Dope. Can’t guanrantee it was directly from the SDMB, but I’ll throw up a hand and see who else might have caught it.

I was surfing a few pages in MPSIMS, and when I clicked to go to a ‘last post’ in a thread, I got a strange redirect. Come to find out it was a ‘Scour Redirect’ which also hijacked my google searches. Symantec Endpoint keeps blocking/quarantining a Bloodhound.Exploit.346 trojan (apparently).

I cannot guarantee I picked it up here, but it only first appeared when I went to go to a ‘last post’.

I run Symantec Endpoint antivirus, and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, both of which I’m running with a barrage of other programs to isolate and kill this particularly sticky little bastard of a virus.
