My brute possible virus/malware?

It seems to be an issue between Symantec/Norton, MyBrute and Flash (also possibly only for those using IE. Have found someone using the above on Chrome and things are OK, but don't work on IE). As no other virus program out there has even picked it up at all, I think the problem is probably a compatibility issue between the above programs, and not a virus on the site. It has only been happening for less than 2 days though, so possibly every single other virus program that exists are a bit slow in finding this virus and creating a method of blocking/removing it. Seems unlikely though that the Norton people are THAT much smarter than anyone else.

If you are concerned though, don't go to the site. I guess it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Getting the same problem, scans show up clean. Completely emptied my Temp files as well. :S

Some others are experiencing the same problem as I was trying to research it on google, heres my post on: http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?t=83780&... which is a forum I found where some others were reporting it:

"Basically when I turned my PC on norton popped up saying it had blocked the downloader.swif.c from my temp internet files. As I was researching it and looking online I decided to check mybrute, and every time I go to the site, any of my character pages or whatever I keep getting the same message that its blocked the downloader.swif.c

I use Norton Security Online Provided by BT Yahoo! Online protection, (Basically Norton AV + Firewall) and the only recent resources online I can find are replicas of Symantec's treat page which basically just say to update AV and run a scan, which I'm doing but it hasn't found anything yet, I also cleared out my temp internet files for good measure.

I've tried going to other sites that use flash in the meantime but had nothing else, it seems to only be MyBrute that it does it with. Also it seems the weapons/skills panel in the cell won't load, nor will any past battles or whatever, probably due to that being based on whatever flash aspect.

Anyone got anywhere with researching this? Do ya think its a problem on the computer that MyBrute is somehow the catalyst for, or the file itself is coming from MyBrute and Mybrute only? As said thats the only site that Norton goes haywire on, hadn't done anything till today."

As said I'm not sure whether its something on my PC manifesting itself only on there (so far) or whether its the site, or just a false positive in Norton due to a recent update or something.

As usual the only Symantec advice is "update and do a scan" which finds nothing (presumably cause its already been blocked and removed, hopefully)

Edit: Its "looking" like a Symantec false positive so far but I'm not yet sure on that. I've got a topic going on the Symantec community about it now so hopefully its getting looked into, I'll post any more important info there: http://community.norton.com/norton/b...hread.id=47...

If anyone is having this problem and using something other than Symantec then PLEASE let us know.

It's a Trojan Horse virus. I just went to that site and I got nothing. You might already have it on your pc. I'd get Malwarebytes if I were you. Update it and run a full scan. It will get things that Norton can't, which is a lot.

most likely you are right when you google Downloader.Swif.C there seems to be quite a few references to the mybrute game website. the malicious code is embedded in the flash

just dont play the game or visit the website.
