Just opened to joomla.org, and Norton went wild blocking an apparent detection of the Downloader Trojan...
Anyone else seeing this ?
I searched Google, and Norton security site, and there was several references to this trojan being attached to Google Adsense ads being served up to unsuspecting websites.
Anyway - just wanted to share this surprise with everyone...

OK - gathered enough curiousity to go back to joomla.org, and it seems all clear....
Looking back into my Norton logs, shows Norton detected/blocked the "Download" virus three times in 10 seconds (5 second intervals)
I'm hoping this was a false detection, and if so, sorry for the alarm :-[ - More opportunities have been lost from indecision, rather than making a wrong decision...

Then it means that the problem has NOT been solved:

Maybe the problem is still coming from some Google Ads from Germany. That's why it appears only randomly. - Last Edit: 17 years 1 month ago by Max Miecchi.

Mediaworks sounds awfully similar... Same trojan... same joomla.org url
I searched the Joomla forums for posts about this - nothing !

Joomla.org forum is a sort of temple, they will hardly admit publicly a mistake (even if reiterated).
I experienced it personally. - Last Edit: 17 years 1 month ago by Max Miecchi.
