RE: trojan infection

You are correct. I was browsing several days ago. And the web page activated my Trend Micro AV program - blocked process. It didn't quarantine any files, tho.

Based on previous experience with these ad-based infections, I looked in the usual places where files were & found 2 in a sub-directories in Local Settings/Application Data/Sun/Java/Deployment and another one named 0.******.exe. Same file name structure as several fake AV infections used. And I deleted them all.

Be aware!

Since audiogon now set up for more ads, it is definitely far less secure and susceptible to malware from trojans like the fake antivirus scams.

exploiting java to deliver payloads to your PC is very common.

The audiogon owners royally f'd up. Unless they put in some security enhancements & be selective on whose ads they are hosting, it will be a lot less secure for malware.
