Guest nellie2 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I have just downloaded some free software from www.evrsoft.com. It is a free HTML editor called 1st Page 2000Do not download and try to install this programOn install Norton found a trojan called JS.Trojan.WindowBomb a bit of a nasty so and so which opens up multiple windows and makes it impossible to do anything because your mouse may stop working too.I have emailed evrsoft......I will let you know if they reply!!!

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 may be worth writing to the publishers / editor pointing out the problem so that they can print something in their next issue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 hmmmm, I downloaded that some time ago on a recommendation, never installed it, but did scan with A/V and antitrojan with no problems reported. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 well I did only download it today... perhaps the problem is recent. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Where did you download from nellie ?Just been to this page downloaded it, checked the zip file with Avast, TDS-3 and online with trend housecall, then did the same with the unzipped files without a murmur from any of them :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northamuk Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I got involved with this about a year ago, think I didn't get it to download. Anyway WindowBomb is supposedly in the download but (as far as I can remember) it doesn't affect the program or your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northamuk Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Might even have been 2 years ago. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/index.cfm?go=di...1&threadid=7451http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/index.cfm?go=di...&threadid=27256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northamuk Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Again, (only from Memory) I think 1 AV program was throwing up a false positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Yes it was from evrsoft and it was norton who recognised window bomb as i was loading the program.... norton has cleaned it and it is ok now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
