Opera Security sucks in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20250930 en Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:41:42 EDT Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:41:42 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20256106 notmentat : Cudni and Oleg are right. It's a good thing you were using Opera. If you were using a vulnerable browser, your system would have been infected by now.

But an .exe file being loaded by any website by default doesn't say good things about that site. I don't think any of the modern browsers will auto-run such files anyway. Not even IE 6, if fully patched.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20256106 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:19:41 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20254933 Oleg :

Have you reported the virus or tried loaded it to Virus Total?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20254605 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:05:49 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20254144 caffeinator : Well ok, that's just a very common bit of malware on those places. Just curious though...do you recall what site it was so can keep others from hitting it?

Be sure to hxxp:// the url if ya do post it. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20254144 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:37:33 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20253623 punker : no crackz sites i was just searching for some info on an notebook]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20253623 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:46:01 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20251635 norwegian :
Wish you had been using IE, the story may have been different.......(no slander ment)

Just set the cache to zero. Turn off javascript too on those strange sites Caff mentioned.

On a side note, look up your DNS cache too as well, or is that a bad thing?

If you expect to go to questionable websites and think your browser/av/etc. is supposed to save you from yourself..think again.

The only real exploit there is in front of the monitor.

Don't visit crackz sites, eh?

FYI, seems you get a lot of those if you have a quarantine history for two years worth.

Here's mine:

[att=1]

I only use Opera, but with .JS/Flash/Java and such all off by default except for sites I define.

Plus, with my router/firewall, HOSTS file, etc., I haven't even seen a infection since I setup this computer. Do like the corporations do, block things at the perimeter.

Opera didn't force you to surf to an infected website, now did it?

CaFF

As it happened, and as already suggested, you were fortunate enough that infection was prevented while browsing site(s) that carry such infections.

Why did it let an infected file onto your hard drive in the first place ? I thought AVG had web scanning enabled by default.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20251014 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 03:11:07 EDT Re: Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20250946 notmentat : That's just your browser cache. It means that you surfed to a site that had that file embedded.

Try surfing to the same site with Firefox or IE 7, and scan again. You'll find the same file in those browser's caches too.

Just don't try to run those files though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20250946 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 02:42:19 EDT Opera Security sucks http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20250930 punker : look's like there is unpatched exploit
