Possible Trojan link

**AabiruSabeel** · 09-16-2010

Is anyone getting their media player opened automatically trying to play a file from bobi123.com whenever you log on IB?

I am getting this whenever I try to come here on IslamicBoard.

Kaspersky is detecting a trojan.

1. If your computer runs on windows operating system, you need to turn on the windows automatic updates so it can automatically download latest security patches. This is important because, well, windows is not perfect and there's always some sort of new errors/loopholes found in its programming that makes it vulnerable for latest generation of viruses etc.
If your computer runs on windows xp, go to control panel --> then click on automatic updates. Also do not forget to turn the windows firewall on (it is on control panel also)

2. Check if antivirus is installed and running on your computer. If it is, then check if it is still valid, ie. if it is constantly updated for new virus definitions. It is no use if the antivirus was installed 3 years ago but never updated since. If it is obsolete or if your computer has no antivirus, here's the two best FREE antivirus programs (do not download any FREE TRIAL programs, because well, unless you are willing to pay, it will stop working soon):

AVAST http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-...-10019223.html
AVG http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Vi...-10320142.html

You only need ONE anti virus program. Also, do not forget to UNINSTALL your old antivirus program BEFORE you download a new one. Having more than one antivirus may result in DISASTER.

3. What browser do you use? If you are still using Internet Explorer, abandon!
Mozilla Firefox is much better in terms of performance, speed, ease of use, and security. Here's you can download mozilla firefox:

4. Even if you already have a good antivirus program, it doesn't mean that it can fully protect your computer from ALL viruses/malwares/etc. You need to complement it with at least a couple of good anti-spywares. The best is Ad aware:

Malwarebytes is also quite good http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyte...-10804572.html

Last, you need to scan your computer regularly with those antivirus and anti spywares programs.
Hopefully these will prevent/resolve some potential problems in the future.

JazakAllah Khair akhi. That has helped me a lot. I'll look into the link later inshaAllah because I'm a bit busy at the moment.

Its much better than many other free anti-virus solutions.

JazakAllah Khair akhi, I'll look into it inshaAllah.

BarakAllahu Feekum! Your posts have helped me a lot.

Any new updates about this issue?
I am still get those notifications on every single page I clicked on and it's kinda annoying.

Until the problem is sorted completely why don't you guys use AdBlock Plus to block the ads then clear cache/cookies and then scan computer for virus/trojans.

OMG You said that!?!?!?! however it's not a bad idea if they maintain daily backups :X Now I feel stupid

Use NoScript (Firefox addon); it'll easily block any 3rd party scripts.

**'Abd Al-Maajid** · 09-27-2010

Isn't the problem sorted out yet? Our brother, AbdulRauf is having problem with browsing the forums.

The bobi123 is a dead inactive URL link. At one time it seems to have been a malware site and many of the virus software identified it as a virus. Apparently the "footprint" for the URL was saved as being a possible virus and some virus detectors still identify it as such. But, it is a dead link now and does not link to anything. So far I do not think any of us have been able to find what it is attached to on the forum.

It will only block it once you set the option to do so; its not as simple as the Firefox version of the add-on.

**abdussattar** · 10-06-2010

I've set it on. It is blocking all smileys and the quote feature, but not the virus...

**أحمد** · 10-07-2010

bobi123 is a site which isn't fully blocked by NoScript or anti banner add-ons. There is however another Firefox add-on for dealing with the problem: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/

Follow the visual instructions below:
