Has anyone else here gotten the bloodhound exploit virus? I
recently (last week) received a weird email from someone claiming to
be a Dr. Abraham Amarachukwu (in Nigeria) who claimed to have
millions of dollars in an offshore account involving crude oil that
he wanted me to help him with??? Then, after that, my homepage was
changed to (http://default-homepage-network.com/newspynotice.html).
Don't open that or you will get it! Actually, this was on my
husbands computer that that happened, where I sometimes read my
email as well. The properties on that page included: javascript,
addictivetechnologies.net/dmo/js/comfirmemCraft1.js"></script>.
That is what the Norton Antivirus said it was, I think. NT said it
was Bloodhound Exploit malware. I did a trace on it using the trace
feature on the Norton Firewall program page and it said that it came
from: Pierre Ruessell (sp?) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; it gives
addresses and phone numbers there as well! Does anyone know what
this is about? I am only putting this here because of a post
Catherine made about viruses she was getting before she left on her
trip so I supposed maybe someone else here might have had these same
things on their computers???
