Trojan in My Directory?

    Someone contacted me yesterday saying when trying to add a link to FreeDeepLinks.com, they got a message saying a trojan was trying to install itself. They couldn't give me the exact error message and didn't give me any other details. I haven't had a problem at all, no one else I've talked to has had a message pop up, and I can't replicate the situation. So... is there any way for me to figure out what's going on, if anything? I obviously don't want anything causing issues like that, but how should I deal with it if I can't see that there's a problem? I'm using phpld 2 if that matters. Thanks!

    Hi Jenn, if you don't get fixed up soon, try PM aspidov on DP he is very highly regarded here on DP and specializes in phpld, I think he will have time to help you out:)

    Jenn,

    30 seconds ago I submitted a link. No problems.

    I guess it is possible that the thing appeared for the other user as a result of a delayed pop-up from somewhere else that he or she had been before visiting your site.


    I think your site is safe.

    IMO, the best way to solve this problem is to upgrade PHPLD .

    I may eventually, but I've only been playing with it for just over a week. When I'm more comfortable with it and ready to explore features in the new one, I plan to.

    Could be from other site that was running on the background of the user.
