HELP: Is my network infected?
This is creepy... So, I decided I would visit HURR-DURR (basically like the original YouAreAnIdiot) on my Windows XP virtual machine (I use virtualbox). The machine was connected to the same WiFi as the host. I went to the page but instead of seeing the old comic sans, goofy song and infinite popups, there was nothing. Then, I got a popup FROM MY HOST saying that Avast Free Antivirus has stopped a virus with a name along the lines of JS.HurrDurr (I forget full name).
I'm wondering if some exploit may have slipped through.
Can host PC's detect viruses in VMs?
Can Hurr-Durr do real damage and is it in my network right now?
I'm really confused and I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks
