thanks!

I seem to have a Trojan infection (JS/IframeRef). It pops up 3 or 4 times a day when Microsoft Essentials say it has suspended it, then I take the option to remove and ME says it has been removed. I also have Threatfire which occasionally picks it up and removes. AVG my other antivirus has not seen it so far. Any ideas on how best to permanently remove it?
It also comes up when I try to reload my AOL software which disappeared for some reason, leaving the links but nothing else. Once ME removes it, a message then says I haven't sufficient hard disk space to load the software, despite the fact that I have 15GB free. Appreciate any helpful advice,

thanks H

I think that's a generic detection of a Javascript 'exploit' which is embedded in a web page. It could be a site that has been hacked without the owners knowledge. The exploit can be used to deliver malware.. Your AV software is presumably picking up the exploit and stopping the browser from running the malicious script. But every time you go back to the infected page, it will probably show the warning again.

If you think your PC has a trojan then I'd suggest running Malwarebytes (the free version not the paid for version) as it's pretty good at removing spyware/trojan's that some other program can't. Make sure to update definitions before running the scan. If it's a really difficult one then the people at the Bleeping Computer forums really know their stuff, but bear in mind individual assistance is not immediate, it can take about a week for them to help.

As a side note running more than one anti virus program (i.e. MSE and AVG) at the same down will slow your PC down and will probably make it less secure. I'd suggest removing AVG.

A good defence against this sort of thing is to use Firefox with the Noscript plugin.

Theres another good trojen remover call "A squared " which might also deal with the problem, also if it has a name, google it and you can usually find a remedy for removal.,.

Thanks both for your help, I have removed AVG. The malware software didn't work. I have googled it and it seems the Trojan can reside in Java. This seems to be my case, as when I open any website needing java I get the warning. I will remove java and reinstall it as per google advice later today and let you know if that works. Again help much appreciated. H

Can anyone recommend a decent photo-printer that is economical to run? I have a Canon MG6150 photoprinter but it is turning out to be horrendously expensive to run. We can't seem to be get through more than 10-15 A4 sheets of art work (son's college work) without most of the cartridges running out. And those cartridges are b***dy expensive (despite ordering them from justinkandpaper)!

klal

I have an Epsom which uses 4 cartridges. Three primary and 1 black.
I get my compatibles from internet-ink.co.uk.
Used them for over a year.Never any trouble,fast delivery
and they are about half the price.
edit
They also have about twice the ink.

klal,as i understand it Kodak printers are the cheapest printer to run ink cartridge wise i think both the black and colour ones together are only about £20 and rather than have many differant variations of cartridge they just have one size across all the printer range.

tyketto and MB - thanks for your inputs.

tyketto, which model of Epson printer do you use? How good is it for photo printing?

klal

SX200. Lowest of the range.
Has print photo and best photo options.
Can print from mem stick.
I've only used it to print docs.
Google specs online.
New 81.70, used (amazon) 45.00.

Thanks tyketto!

Require some help please folks,

I am having some problems on a new Android handset for setting up emails i am setting it up using a aol.co.uk address the messages are been received onto the hanset which is port 110 but its not sending messages out.

After speaking to Mr Patel on the help desk he was not much help mainly due to the language barrier is the most polite way of describing it,so any of you wise folks are that these are the port settings for the external send messages or do i need to change it ???

It cannot be a major problem as the incoming message are being recived by the handset.

Many thanks and any help would be most welcome.

If AOL is not the browser used to connect you to the internet you will only receive emails. I have a Vodaphone dongle for my laptop when away, my email is with talktalk, i can receive but not send. Suggest you open a new email address in your android browser. Hope i'm right and hope it helps. BB

MB,

You might like to consider taking out a subscription with these boys.

I use their outgoing smtp address on:-

My desk PC connnected to the internet via BE Unlimited
My wife's laptop.
My Samsung Android S2 phone with an o2 sim card at home and roaming
The same setting when the S2 is picking up wifi in my home or elsewhere
My Android (wifi) only Toshiba tablet.

I have two email addresses @compuserve.com (now part of AOL) and several email addresses hosted at my photographic web server.

Years ago I recommended AuthSmtp to friends travelling with laptops who were constantly baffled by the need to change their outgoing smtp settings when they moved from hotel to hotel. With this system you never change anything.

It seems to work with all the mail systems. I have nPOP, Virtual Access, Thunderbird and on my Androids I have K-9.

I am sure there will be a free trial MB. Give it a go.

In the days when outlook express, a dedicated email prog loaded on a pc would work, all email address's could be loaded on and downloaded. But as usual something useful won't work on modern systems. Glad to say i still run xp on laptop and can still use outlook express.,.

Thanks gents for all your advice and help etc but even after being onto the AOL help desk still has notsorted the problem out.I am giving it a break today but will attempt another long session tomorrow.

This what its setup as per Aol help desk from down town Delhi but the port settings can be differant from various forums so i have tried a fair few options.Its only the outgoing part of it that does not work so it so near yet so far away.

ncoming server.
imap.aol.com
port
143
security type nil

this accepts emails exactly as they should be.

Out going server

smtp.aol.com
port
587
security type
none

When you click on say a reply email or even start a new one,it attempts to send the email but after trying it comes up with the message 'connection error'.

With regard to my problem mentioned last week, with a Trojan, here is a link I found useful. H
