hi my avg 2015 is picking up this adtech tracking cookie

Web Threats β€Ί

Tracking Cookie Adtech

Tracking Cookie Adtech is a malicious software that can be used to interfere with the normal operation of a computer, gather personal information or allow a hacker to access the device remotely without the user's consent.

This kind of malware usually arrives in the form of an unwanted download from a malicious website or as code illegally injected into a legitimate website without the webmaster's knowledge. It can also be received as an email attachment or an instant message from an untrusted source.

Seems like a virus hidden in our forum.

Could be due to spammed website links on the member section.

I've deleted them yesterday including a ban on their IP's. Also deleted their accounts.

Dont know for sure if its connected but why take any risks.

Website links were leading to England and Scotland, but IP's from the accounts turned out to be from New Youk (US) and Jackarta (Indionesia) no posts involved, just spamming websites.

See Administration Control Panel for more details.
