An important virus issue.
« on: May 18, 2005, 07:43:09 PM »
Hello...

Today, (it's late!) I have discovered that a site, (don't click on it) www. googkle.com, can infect your computer if you go on this site.
I have read that navigate on this site can inject in your PC trojans, virus, and various spywares...
Am I protected with Avast?
Have you got a virus definition file with these virus?

Thanks!
More info on FSecure website.

JoJoFrench.. Please do not post a link to a site that you know is infected.   Others may click on it,   even if you do say not to.

No, it still appears as an active/clickable link, remove the www. in the URL and it will become text googkle.com, or put a space on other side of the dot '.', e.g www . googkle.com again that is displayed as text.

Don't post a infected link again, and yes we are aware of the mispelling of google will lead towards a virus.  Avast! should be able to block this virus from entering your computer by webshield.
