Phishing links and possible malware
« on: November 22, 2011, 10:24:59 PM »
When I was using Vkontakte I saw some links which directs to phishing sites. I didn't click those links, but I opened a music page, where was links to those phishing sites. I have heard that social networking malware can spread even by pointing a cursor to the links without clicking them. I don't know is it true, but anyway I ran Avast, Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro scans and they found nothing serious. Here's the logs as attachments.

Monitor it for a day or so if  nothing untoward occurs run OTL and press the cleanup button
