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. Tripler I may need to nuke it from orbit. ---
