    Exclamation Backdoor Trojan?

    I've noticed that when I look at pictures in the "Gallery" my computer's anti-virus pops up with the message attached. Anyone else get this?

    Would you report that to Scott please? Happened to me about 2 weeks ago, but only once, so I never really thought anything about it.

    Please provide me with the specific link. I assure you there is no trojan on Reefland; but there could be an image name that is scaring AVP's.

    Re: Backdoor Trojan?

    When I clicked on:

    upside_snail.2 - Reefland's Gallery - Reefland

    it brought up that warning. I just did it now and nothing happened. I was going through looking at pictures in the snails, worms, etc. and when I clicked on that picture to make it large, the window popped up.

    While uploading a few pictures tonight I was prompted with this same error again. This time from home. I am using Symantec anti-virus.

    Re: Backdoor Trojan?

    The only thing my two computers have in common is that they are both running Symantec Anti-Virus... One 32-Bit, the other a 64-bit machine, both running Vista and IE 8.

    It could be a false positive. Symantec is known to have them from time to time. Hopefully the admin can double check it out and fix whatever is causing the issue.
