entropiawiki.com has been compromised with a Trojan don’t use it!
Your computer will be infected with a virus.
This is a java script type attack.
Spread the word!
Do you have any evidence? Which trojan?
color me skeptic
The same thing, I guess. JQuery’s probing for browser’s capabilities causes it with some paranoid AVs. I don’t know if Entropedia uses JQuery though.
Here is a screen shot of what avast says is where the script was trying to run from

Yeah, I’ve been getting that virus warning every time I go on there. It’s been happening since I upgraded to Windows 8. I’m also using Avast! anti virus in Chrome.
if your antivirus is warning you/catching it you are not going to be infected are you? 
yep, same thing guess I wasn’t alone…
yeah which is why I kept using it since I got the warning as I trust it’s blocked so can’t do any harm jsut annoying to get the quarantine warning each time.
Yeah, if the anti virus detects it, it will block it so I don’t think there’s any real threat. It’s probably just a false positive on Avast! side. I know it was detecting my entropia.exe as a virus, planetside2.exe as well.
When the game comes up with a new patch, i get a virus warning about the up loader… I have blown it off, but they prolly should check on it… could just be Avast does not like the code from the up loader.
And whoever reported Moogle as spamming a malicious website is a prick bastard who should be locked themselves for a few days.
If something like this happens the players need to know, not the players shooting the messenger.
Avast forums report that Avast is detecting a false positive with Paypal donation links on sites: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=122573.30
It appears to be limited to users running Avast in conjunction with IE 9 or 10.
Was also with Firefox, but with newest virus definition update it’s fixed, at least for me.
/mod note/ I’ve renamed this thread to indicate it’s a false positive on Avast’s side.

After a slight misunderstanding ended up getting my account locked…
… Achievement unlocked Entropedia.info can be a malicious url to spam…
( I was nervous as hell and ended up having a panic attack at 2am)
But now unlocked after chatting with support.

So they are now looking into this virus issue.
[SIZE=4]More about this virus.[/SIZE]
From what I have found, and personal experience no official PayPal script should ever trigger this as a false positive. They do a lot of testing on these sorts of things.
I did a ton of research on the JS:Includer-ANI[Trj], and it is nothing to take lightly.
It is a new form of attack that is spreading fast. Basically it modifies and takes over your system disabling most antivirus software and root kits its self. After securing its place on your computer it then starts to download other malware and virus’s that attempt to keylog and scrape your computer for all your passwords / user accounts and private information.
These other virus’s tend to disable your anti malware and anti virus software, they may look to be running but they will just be there for eye candy to give you a false sense of security.
This could be even more harmful if someone modified this type of virus to fish for EU passwords and steal accounts.
Ways to check if you have this virus, it has several noticeable signs:
[ul]
[li]Unusually high cpu usage[/li][li]randomly downloaded files appearing on your system[/li][li]Random system errors[/li][li]Programs no longer running properly or even loading at all[/li][li]Your antivirus reporting normal non effected programs as viruses[/li][/ul]
This virus likes to store multiple copies of its self in your %AppData% folder under strange names. It can be difficult to find what process the virus is running as, as it will have some random name.exe
I found this youtube video that explains how you can easily manually remove this virus once you figure out what it is named as. http://youtu.be/gKLWj3oWAGk
I am not trying to cause panic or cause any mistrust in any valuable community tools.
EU has been here for me through some of the roughest times in my life. My only intention here and always will be to look out for other players and the community as much as possible while continuing to enjoy the game play as it continues to evolve and grow.
A couple of weeks ago Avast gave me a fat warning when trying to log into gmail… it vanished when I downloaded latest version of Avatst from their webpage.
This is a older issue that had occurred back in April - July with a different set of virus’s completely.
I got this issue with Chrome, Fire Fox and the latest version of IE.
Try downloading the latest virus definition update, as Sissi has done.
I have updates on automatic, get several everyday, in fact got one just now.
Well, its a different kind of “I’m back” post but welcome back Haxtor Moogle!
Too many false positives can lead some to try another anti virus program maybe?
Anyway, glad this is a false positive. :thumbup:
Indeed Welcome Back!!!:yup:
