Okay... who wants to explain this now?
I uninstalled Chrome. Cleaned my reg and junk files. Restarted. Did not do a scan... sorry, Ill get to that next.
After all that, I open Chrome. It goes to the Chrome GMail start Screen as usual. So I open a new tab and try the exact thing mentioned above... I typed in the address window "google.com' and hit enter. I click on the top right GMail link as mentioned above; I get sent to the OLD log in screen with the Trojan message again. THIS WAS IN CHROME FROM THE ADMIN PROFILE.
Plus Avast reports the site as UNKNOWN
So I log out of the profile. I log into the normal user profile and once again Chrome reports 'Your preferences cannot be read..." dialog box.
However, IE goes to the OLD page once... I close and repeat the procedure and Im back to the NEW log in.
So, maybe this thread is back to its original title...
Re: Attack On GMAIL or My PC? HTML:Bankfraud-BYL TrojanHypothesis: Illicit 'something' is occurring on Google right now. TwinHeadedEagle reports no malware on my machine... I'll buy that for more than a dollar. Everything else is back to normal; including FB. I will be removing Chrome again; since it's apparently its choking on something right now.
I will be happy to try and reinstall Chrome for testing.. but you all now have all the clear details I have.
..any other thoughts would be appreciated.
