Internet explorer user prompt ?

shagreth · 07-09-2006, 02:46 PM

Hello guys, today i tried to enter The elder scrolls forums and when i did a small window appeared named "explorer user prompt" loading some "script prompt" and a jpg named
"xpladv771[1]" came up then i had to shut down the browser.

Now i have AVG and i scaned with it, and it deleted 6 files indicated as "exploit" or something allong with this jpg.All the files were in temp.internet files if i recall.

Every other page looks good, but when i visit the elderscrolls forums.. this comes up and i have top to clean it again.

The last thing i want is a virus.. since i am in big stress in my life, and as my PC is a part of my work and enjoyment i really want it fixed.

I thank you in advance!!!

(forgive any spelling-grammar mistakes..english is not my first language)

Forgive me for double posting.

I have found the source of this, it seems that the Official Elder scrolls forums have a virus right now, and the moderators are trying to fix it.

What i am concerned now is IF my AVG cleaned all the infected files,(altho they all gathered in internet temp folder) but i am really worried.
