I also thought it might have been spmething spread through irc if that's even possible. My flash should also be up to date. Anyway, won't be able to really look into for a week so I guess I'll get back to you guys then if I find out anything. Also I have avast running up to date both times and still ended up with this. EDIT: just to clarify about avast it would pop up and say threat defended or whatever it does but the bullshit vista security would already start popping up and being a pain in the ass and already my reg files would be changed etc. Same exact thing happened to me. I have avast and it said it blocked it, but nope. | ||

BUT I encounter the same virus in my company three weeks ago. It's seems to be related to poor virus protection and being infected by opening a jpeg on internet (no, not porn... I was at my work, making research for some technical parts in motor). Lately, it seems to have more and more infection due to malware inside jpeg on internet. I can only recommend you to install a strong (yet free) antivirus and be very careful with surfing. Don't blame GOM player with just you being infected, sometime, virus is latent and spread out from nowhere... but been there for days, weeks, months on the computer. Identifying where it came from can be really hard. | ||

if it's not GOMtv or CNET, then you probably downloaded it from someone malicious, and has nothing to do with gomtv or anything else other than some poor foresight on your part | ||

You actually can inject viruses into jpegs, however, jpegs are not executed by default, so a program needs to execute the infected jpeg to mess up your computer. Basically, you first need to have the malware which runs the jpegs, then get jpegs with viruses inside them. | ||

Well it depends on the program running JPEG and whether it has security exploits. Maybe certain programs load certain information from JPEG files in a certain way that others don't which can be exploited but of course I'm not sure. The question though is to those who are infected - Are you using adblock and/or noscript/notscripts? Definitely real worrying if this has been happening to everyone lately. | ||

- You got infected because you disabled UAC(you DO understand that Microsoft has it on for a REASON). Turn it back on. Pretty hard for an executable or otherwise to run if even YOU can't allow it without a mouse click. - Stop using Internet Explorer for god sake. These are the ONLY two choices you should be using: Firefox + NoScript Chrome Those bad sites that you've been visiting for cracks, pr0n and the like harbor viruses and drive-by infections which do a number on your machine. I'm not going to tell you to stop going to bad sites, but I am telling you to take every precaution necessary as above. I don't buy the GOM player harboring a trojan. | ||

I dont watch PRon on gomplayer, only GSL. Look, here's all i did: I got a virus no idea how. Wanted to watch GSL again, so downloaded GOM player(not thinking GOM player had anything to do with it, like you guys) on another computer and got the same virus. 1) sometimes virus scanners dont detect virus's. 2) maybe it was a third party, but it was linked through gomtv.net 3) it is possible that i got the virus by some other means, but i literally did nothing but watch GSL on this other computer, and it got the same virus. I am using malware bytes, and it couldn't stop this virus. In the case im wrong, my apologies. however, this isn't something that hasn't happened before: http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/security-watchdog-blog/2101742/south-korean-gomtvnet-streaming-service-hacked | ||

Maybe the virus came back to your computer cause you never got rid of it correctly the first time? On a tangent, googling did lead me to these recent two links which mention some vulnerabilities in Gom player (not saying this is causing our problems, as from what I understand you need to open a malicious file in Gom. But I'm tech noob. | ||

Also, you just linked an article saying they got hacked and had passwords taken. Yeah, so what? That isn't related at all to this. If you're trying to point out they have security issues - k. This is an entirely different area of security. The reason people are being so harsh against you is that these threads appear all the time on many websites and then the program gets a bad name for causing viruses when it was actually just coincidence. | ||

I wish people would stop spreading false information. If you dont want to get viruses then dont visit dodgy sites or download dodgy programs, it is that simple. Downloading from companies such as Gom is (almost) always safe. I do not use any virus protection (because I am fairly tech savvy). I use IE, FF and chrome for different things. IE is fine and will never be the cause of any virus. I do not use any NoScript addon because I want to run scripts from certain sites. Just stay away from things like warez and be careful what you torrent, and you will not get any viruses. | ||
