Interesting.

Nice one - that's exactly what happened to me. Still no idea how my work PC became infected, but being a relatively new type of MIB attack I'm guessing that the usual AV might not have picked it up.

Good thing I stopped when I did!

Did you type it into the address bar or the search box?

Into the address bar, which is why I keep going on about this because there is no evidence of me stepping outside of advised/secure methods when accessing the site yesterday.

The weird thing for me was that I didn't access the website through any link ... I typed it into the browser as I always do. The trojan or whatever it was appeared on the actual Barclays https website. All scans came through clean!

Try to browse to some other bank site on your PC, if you got trojan it probably fakes multiple banks.

*Ahem*

Thanks

Thanks (again) for the link. Ran the full scan and it's come out all clean.

So still no idea what happened to my Barclays login this morning... but an AV, rootkit and malware scan have all come up clean.

We'll blame the Bobs in that case.

*Ahem*

You didn't provide the link for the client. That why I'm on £20hr more than you.

URL is legit. I'm on the company PC here so it's behind corporate AV and firewall etc.

I haven't plugged in anything or visited any dodgy sites or downloaded any executables.

Very weird.

You may think it legit but it may not be. You need to read the whole URL it could have an @ in it.
