Does anyone know if it is safe to put them back yet?

Thanks!

I deleted all ‘reference to’ or ‘links to’ all videos just in case. I am optimistic it is a false positive. BUT; Why would a redirect happen as many on here have said? That is not a false positive! That is a problem.

For somebody more computer savy than I, it would even happen when I pulled the link, (not the one offered on youtube, the link out of the embed code), and use that in a iframe. I would get the warning.

I also have noticed that my pages always waited for: (s.ytimg.com), to load, assuming it was the img file of the static video.

Anyway it went from a standard link:
http://www.youtube.com/v/bUTBGz4zV9Y&hl=en&fs=1

To a mile long link: (I broke to not make a good link).

Maybe somebody can figure out what it actually does? If anything.

I first was warned that two temp internet files were infected last night, but the CA program only deleted one file, which I thought was weird. If it is a trojan, did it change/move to not be deleted? I tried to delete the second file myself with no luck. I ran the CA virus scan completely last night, and it came up with no virus anywhere. However, today, after checking a review I wrote months ago that includes an embedded video from utube, I got 17 virus warnings at once! Again, only some of the files were deleted. Now, I know that my embedded video and my utube page have been up for months without any issue, so what’s going on? I also browsed a few myspace pages a couple days ago.

Some of the warnings on the CA site for the other actns/swift viruses are reported as medium threats that can be a real problem. So, I am not sure if this is a “false positive” or what, but do know that PREVIOUSLY to the virus warnings that popped up yesterday, my computer and the CA program acted weird a couple weeks ago.

My CA program was saying it had expired, gone for about a week, then came back on with a completely different expiration date. My computer was odd too, web pages were not loading, and Vista gave me the message that my secure sites — my email sign on and anything with a password– were not secure and not to proceed. That lasted few days, then all seemed fine again. But now I am suspicious. I was not redirected to a phising or down-loadable site, but the CA program itself failed for a week. Did a virus hit CA that caused it to “expire”? I read above that others have CA programs that oddly changed expiration dates too.

I have noticed that my CA Anti-Virus checker has 3/12/2009 as the renewal date. It is due for renewal in March 2009.
I have not been able to access anything on my computer for 5-6 days which requires a password. I’m unable to type a password in the box and I keep hearing a constant clicking noise.
I keep getting messages that CA virus checker has detected and cleaned Actns/Swif.T.

Download a program called Malware Bytes, http://www.malwarebytes.org/ , its saved my skin so many times and customers. Its a free program to use and its really clever and powerful at what it does.

Load it on, update it and remove the infected files, reboot, launch HijackThis and then clean out other bad items.

Then run ATF cleaner on the machine to clean up any temp remains.

Thanks.

Nothing happened, but I would like to know about what is going on. I am somewhat computer savvy, but I have no idea what is really happening with this “virus” or “false alarm” system. I am running a scan with CA right now. Do I need to go and fix anything? Nothing was installed from the Antivirus 2009 site, but I want to make sure my computer is safe. Any help or information would be appreciated.

Thank you,
