Unauthoized jpeg downloads
« on: January 13, 2010, 04:42:25 PM »
I'm getting 400 - 500 unauthorized jpeg downloads dailey to my jpeg file. They seem to be originating from a
Fox news net work of some kind. I delete them and empty the recycle bin but there are more the next day.
I've tried strengthening my security and have scanned with Norton and Malware. But I'm still getting these unauthorized pics. How do I solve this problem? Thank you , Chuck

I would do one more scan to be sure. Or, post in the malware fourm here at CH for better assurance.

Try Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.0

You'll need Java enabled in your browser for this to work.  At the end of the scan (the whole process takes a long time, so be sure you have time) Kaspersky will display a list of any malware it detects, along with the directories the malware is located.  Use the directory listings to locate and manually delete malware, as the online scanner does NOT remove any viruses.   Be sure to print a copy of what kaspersky finds, so if you are unable to delete a virus, you can boot into Safe Mode and try again...

If you've got some time to kill or are feeling like a full blown mission, download TCPview for Windows.  When you run it, it captures all connections to your computer in real-time.  It's much better than running the native netstat utility because netstat doesn't update its list on-the-fly.

Also I would seriously consider checking your firewall settings to see what is allowed to access the web.
Also dependant on your internet browser be it firefox/IE etc check your add-ons and disable any ones you do not require. Especially if they link to the problem.
Welcome to computer hope  ;)
