Dr. Cold-blooded Fire Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hello! I tryied to watch a video off the "Tech Roady" youtube channel on one of Hak5 products, and when I pressed the video my avast antivirus showed the following message: Quote Threat secured we've safely aborted connection on www.youtube.com because it was infected with JS:ScriptPE-inf[Trj]. What is going on here? If it is actually an intended virus, how is it possible to do that through youtube? When I opened it again, this time by pasting the link, the video started playing while displaying only the video, and the antivirus stopped the virus again. This is the link of the video I tryied to watch. DO NOT open without protection:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaD-5_ubPRcXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It's probably more likely that it blocked a browser plug-in or injected advertisement on the page, and Avast just knows that it came from the page with that URL. So when you go to that URL a plug-in might be injecting extra JavaScript into the page and Avast just sees that there is malicious malware on the page downloaded from YouTube. Are you using Chrome? If so try opening the page in Incognito mode as I'm pretty sure that stops the Chrome plug-ins. See if it happens again while in Incognito. If not then you'll probably have to do some plug-in deleting in Chrome. If so, YouTube has been hacked, or your computer has a virus (far more likely) that is messing with your browser. Strange that Avast wouldn't pick up a program though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cold-blooded Fire Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yes, i'm using chrome. I pasted the link in incognito and it can't reach it. Does that mean something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cold-blooded Fire Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just checked, it won't reach it through regular chrome either.. but it did 5 seconds before I try it on the ingognito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would run a full scan on your computer. Malwarebytes is an anti-virus I recommend. Are you typing these replies on that same computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cold-blooded Fire Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I found an " MBR:Backboot-G [Rtk] " . Is it very bad? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkish Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A quick search shows that it’s a pretty nasty nasty. Kill it with fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cold-blooded Fire Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 i run full scans with avast and malwarebytes and they don't read it anymore.. I don't think it hide automatically because it has been detected, why wouldn't it do so from the beginning.. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Judging from the name - is it some kind of boot record that causes the machine to dual-boot two different OS' for backdoor purposes? Sounds very nasty indeed. On 1/11/2019 at 12:36 PM, Dr. Cold-blooded Fire said: i run full scans with avast and malwarebytes and they don't read it anymore..

Just do another full scan with Malwarebytes. If nothing pops up you're probably okay. I'd probably blow away Windows though and start it fresh to be sure, but that's up to you.

johan_1212 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 If theses types of things happen so my suggestion is that people no need to use a free version of the antivirus tool. I have been using Avira antivirus AVG Error 0xe0010002 for 11 years and now using this on my Windows 10 for 3 years. This forum of the site has helped me a lot so this is commendable for me.
