There is this window that pops up my screen everyday(MBS Account Manager), asking me to pay for a subscription to a porn website. But i am certain that i haven't subscribed to any such thing. The curious thing is that there is no reference to my name or my e-mail, or any personal detail mentioned when i am prompted. I've checked the date of installation, and it shows the same day i won the bid on eBay.
Anyone knows about the trojan Horse TR/AGENT.AFI.6? I just got a laptop on ebay, and it came with it.?computer security
This has been a long running saga which I have been following on various forums. Posted is a link to PC adviser thread which will tell you all you want o know and more.
Long and short answer is that there is no evidence that this can be downloaded by stealth or backdoor, but rather does have a pop up with an accept button, asking if you want a 3 day trial of free porn site access. On clicking the accept button the software is downloaded and activated with a ticking clock. You are charged a fee if you do not cancel within the trail period, but the instructions on how to cancel are hidden well away, and in any case do not appear to work!
As you have bought on eBay I assume that the previous owner did the above. From the evidence to date there is little point in trying to get this company to accept this though, as their business practises are not exactly an model of utmost good faith.
