WARNING!!! Don't click on the above link!! There is a trojan embedded in the script or .jpg in that auction. I just tried it and McAfee halted everything with a warning. I cleaned it up and still being on that page was immediately re-infected and had to clean it off again. The name of the trojan is IRC/FLOOD.CM . The trojan will be found in your temporary internet files. It will also go into your system files, but unfortunately I didn't write down the exact message as it caught me by surprise and I was anxious to let McAfee get rid of it.

I didn't get any warning from my AntiVirus. I have PestPatrol, SpywareBlaster and SpyBot Search & Destroy and nothing was found. Could it be something to do with the ZoomStream image?
I would never purposely post a link with anything to harm anyone's computer. I'm sorry if it contained that.
It was a girl who had her virginity up for sale to pay for college. She had the auction listed under 2004 BMW. She said she would even let a doctor examine her to prove she still was. Crazy!

That was my thought as that is the first zoomstream image I have ever seen. My screen froze just as the image and description appeared and the AV flag from McAfee opened. It said something about scripting and that a file in my system folder had been shut down to prevent it from continuing. I didn't write down the message, just the name of the trojan. I hope it was a glitch with a case of mistaken i.d. It's sort of scary to think about trojans being spread by viewing infected auction pages. Whatever it was, it hit me twice and I had to close the auction page to clean it the second time and keep from getting it again.

Dad...I thought of that too. But there would be no logical reason for her to pass out Trojans. If the high bidder used Paypal, he would be covered by the buyer protection plan
