Spyware Issues (was Bellrock Warning)

[Black21Jack]

I've renamed and moved the thread since this has nothing to do with Bellerock or any of their casinos. I've just spoken with one of their reps on the phone - and he has assured me that this is not coming from them - obviously.

Well I usually do not post warnings about a casino or say anything that may hurt their business unless I have proof but I did go to the site bellerock.com and downloaded the software from there which is the same website (or looks identical) as www.bellerockgaming.com and I can say with 100% certainty that it was the software for home casino downloaded from bellrock.com that caused this to happen. I was informed by another member that bellrock.com is an affiliate site and is no way owned by bellrockgaming.com, if this is the caase I apologize to Bell Rock Gaming. But if you visit bellerockgaming.com, and also visit bellerock.com you will see why I was sure it was owned by them. If not they should be informed of this problem so that it does not affect them in a negative way. I am going to download the software again and see what happens. With all the security features installed on my computer now it should catch any funny business when I install the software downloaded from bellerock.com

Bryan, you should notify the bellerock people about this affiliate site. I think they would frown on a site that installs scumware while impersonating their good name.

B21J, glad to hear you're back to normal!

I don't think this site has anything to do with it - it belongs to Bellerock BTW, it's not an affiliate site.

I think Black21Jack picked up this program from somewhere else, since it seems he is the only person who has had this problem - and twice already.

Black21Jack - is there any way you can trace your steps to find out where you picked up this trojan/scumware/spyware whatever? It would be great to know from where this was generated from.

I had said in the original post that I did not download anything from anywhere for months. The only casino software installed has been a couple of RTG's such as Gold Circle, Leopard Rock and a re install of Phoenician. I know it was not from them because it did not happen until I installed Home Casino. I know these spy programs are very tricky and it is hard to track, but honestly, I have not put anything on my computer other than the RTG's and Home Casino. I have never played at any casino in the Belle Rock group so I have absolutely no reason to say anything about them or make anything up, and as I said earlier I apologize if it has nothing to do with them. I did as I said above and downloaded Home Casino from Bellrock.com again today. I have all the security programs, virus detectors, spy cleaners that were advised to me in this thread. After I installed Home Casino I removed it completely from the computer using the Control Panel Add/Remove. Right after I removed it I got a warning from the program Antivir that I downloaded and it said it detected a file called TR/Spy.Montp.B.2 which it classified as a Trojan Horse. Again, no proof it came from the Home software, but I have not downloaded anything since I cleaned my computer of the other mess, and installed all the security programs. I don't know what else to say on the matter. It is weird that it only happens to me, but like I said I have no reason to make up anything about Belle Rock so I am just posting what actually happens. I have a question, can these programs get on your computer simply by visiting a website? or do you need to execute a program? I never download unknown files, or emails, and I delete all emails with attachments if they are not from friends. I am very carefull with these things. I will try to retrace my steps and see what I can come up with and I will keep everyone updated.

You don't need to download anything for this shit to make its way onto your system. I had an identical problem a few weeks ago. I'm sure my infection was the result of visiting some tawdry T&A sites. After that, some search page I wanted no part of became my home page. Norton detected the problem and gave instructions to remove the problem files.

You don't need to download anything to get infected other than visit a website, but if you have all the Windows updates and an updated operating system, there shouldn't be any problems. A lot of people still use older operating systems with no security updates.

From you description, it seems like this bellerock.com site (which certainly belongs to Belle Rock Gaming and is on the same server as bellerockgaming.com) is doing something iffy. Which link did you use to download Home Casino? It looks like there are a couple of different links to the download.
