JS/Loop virus

[Eric Legge]

AVG has just detected a virus called JS/Loop on my system, which I sent to the vault.

The Grisoft virus database only lists a JS/Fortnight virus, and the data on it is in a foreign language that looks something like Czech.

Anyone know what this virus is about?

Seems to lock up your computer and opens a bunch of IE windows, screws with your system clock too.

I just found the same virus using AVG. It came from an HMTL
editor called 1st Page by evrsoft.com. It was in a java script
called "6 buttons" that came with the program. I have been trying to go to their web site off and on for the last couple of weeks, but it's just not there any more. I know that it's an Australian company. There is a tech forum for the program at:

I don't know if they can help you, but I assume a bunch of
people have had the same problem.
