    Default Trojans/Leaving?

    Well. This whole thing happened last weekend, when my good computer got a trojan and some other junk on it, which took my dad about 3 hours to get rid of. He told me to stop scripting, because i had told him about a few days earlier. The only thing is, I dont use SCAR on my good computer, just for that reason, and my dad doesnt want me autoing all night anyway. (Not saying i dont trust SCAR, but im just making sure.) And now, a few days later, the exact same trojan shows up on my autoing/scripting computer, and that is why im now on my good computer, because my dad is working on getting rid of it. Now he is absolutely sure that it was SCAR's fault. I think he is going to force me to leave SRL and SCAR. If he does, this will be my going away topic, but I really dont want to leave, because, it isnt just scripting here, there are alot of good people here, and lots of good people that are fun to *hang around* with, and talk to. I really dont want to leave, how do I convince my dad that it isnt SCAR that gave us that virus? Also, what could have caused us to get the exact same thing on both computers? Thanks everyone.

    and SCAR can't have viruses as far as i'm aware(I'm not very aware) but if u see something that's .exe just abandon every thought of downloading it, stay safe

    That's very hard to say what caused it on both coms.
    Same website?
    First of all you should try to install a good working anti-virus.

    And oh, about the convince part I can't think of anything right now...
    Hmm...... I'll try to figure something out.

    Yeah just tell him to scan SCAR with any antivirus he can get his hands on. That'll teach him xD

    A spyware/virus scanner I downloaded from PC Pitstop picked up Scar once as a trojan. Said something about how most viruses will use hidden windows or something, I forget. I use AVG free, works great.

    i have something now for the virus, its like spyhunter or something, but he wont let it go, ive shown him that scar is clean, but, since he knows things about VB and Java, he thinks that all scripts can have viruses in them... so he doesnt think that they are safe, but i have every intention of staying here guys, so dont worry.

    I'd be careful with Spyhunter as I've heard it doesn't pick up half the stuff some of the free ones do. Try Ad-aware.

    I'd suggest you just hide 'em. I mean if the trojan's gone, what he doesn't know can't hurt him.

    Script CAN contain viruses. I think. But it asks if you want to connect to the webpage

    3garrett3, scan SCAR installer at VirusTotal and show results to your dad. If you just downloaded the SCAR from Freddy1990.com or Dylock.net, then you DO have clean version of SCAR.

    SCAR doesn't contain trojan(s).

    no, as they are a .scar file, only scar can open them, the scripts could however get acces to the internet, but scar has a build-in firewall, so if you just read through the script you can see if it contains a virus like script(it could also make a new file and open it but it is very unlikely...
    Infractions, reputation, reflection, the dark side of scripting, they are.
