FPSBanana Infected

[Lucidius]

Anyone shopping for maps or skins:

I know it's not uncommon for FPSBanana, but I believe the site is currently infected with the 'Black Internet' trojan.

It's embedded in the site itself somehow, which means all you have to do is go there-- you don't have to download anything, and you'll be infected. The thing is that no virus scanner I had running alerted to it; AVG, Ad-Aware and Windows Defender did not alert when I went there and caught it.

If you've been to FPSBanana the last day or less, check your task manager. Look for iexplore.exe running-- or multiple instances of it if you are surfing with internet explorer, of course. You might also be hearing audio advertisements and/or multiple weird noises and mouseclicks.

Apparently this trojan infects the MBR, and I'm not 100% how to fix that, but I think I've cleared my infection by making all folders viewable and none hidden, starting in Safe Mode and going here:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Appdata\Local\Temp

and deleting these two files:

Loader.exe
Smss.exe

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

So, go exploring to test your virus scanner or doubt my post at your own risk-- i.e., my strong suggestion is: don't do it.

If anyone knows their webmaster's contact info, please share. I'd gladly write them an e-mail to tell them, but I don't feel like looking for it on their site and having to clean my computer again.

I looked on there yesterday and i was fine, not that you should care FPS Banana may have a great collection of stuff, but the website and search functions suck.

Well, at the moment im on my work's internet provider. Its really strict, blocking facebook, and such. It allowed this site, but when i went on FpsBanana just a few min's ago, it said something about a virus, or some sort of breach. But im protected :). Idk, but i wouldnt go on it.

No virus detectors have been picking it up and loading the site is enough to infect you.

... a great collection of stuff...

All anyone cares about.

Everythings getting infected these days...

I went on it a week or so ago, I noticed it was down. Simply a blank page, I guess I'm infected with this trojan? o.O

if your having the symptoms then maybe, I don't know when it was infected. I posted this several days after the initial Steam post
