I got attacked

Yesterday I landed on a filehost site and I believe there may have been a malicious banner ad. Anyhow it executed a php file named pdf.php (this went on without the slightest objection by AVG antivirus). Luckily in a bit of foresight I had switched off all javascript in my Adobe Acrobat so I then got a prompt asking me whether I want to switch it on which of course I didn’t. That was a narrow escape and reminded me how easy it is to catch a bug these days.

i am really sorry for you. some time ago i was in the same situation while downloading the file i was attacked, but likely i didn’t loose any information from my pc but i had ti reinstall the whole system.

I would recommend Avast.com software

Hey there

i’m sorry to hear.
i can recommend you on my anti-virus - AVG interent security 2012.

it works really quiet, easy to use it and does the job on the best side.

That was some clever way to use Acrobat’s Adobe as a gate for malicious attack, usually I get the warnings from queued files in my downloads folder.

Hi

I can’t say that this antivirus will help you , but it works in my windows perfect . You can try it -Avira Free Antivirus (http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus)
