Default Re: Weird Transfer Stuff at Stars - TROGAN?

Just an update:

I had done scans with Lavasoft Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, E-trust antivirus - all brought up nothing. Then I purchased Spyware Doctor and it found Trojan.Dropper on my computer. However that doesnt seem to have been the problem. I heard this back from stars this morning:

...

I'm told by one of our other Poker Specialists that this may have been unrelated to this virus... and that what it may have been was a mis-fire of the automated macro used by PokerTracker to request your hand histories from PokerStars. If you are using PokerTracker and its automated hand
gathering, and you happen to be doing just the wrong thing when it decides to request hands, it can mis-fire and request a transfer instead. "Mississauga" was not the player name, but instead was a player location -- that is a suburb of Toronto.

So long as you don't confirm that transfer dialog when it mis-fires, you're fine.

...

Weird huh?
