If orcal_girl, man... are viruses...?

how to find and isolate them? What are their possible filenames and is home version of avast good enough for this?

best practice is to not visit that site being spammed on here, and keep your anti-virus up todate and do a full scan

CERT and all of the anti-virus companies will investigate and we will hear very shortly.



I don't know (See above).



It depends on if this is a new virus or a pre-existing one, and how often avast updates their definitions and it you've run the update lately.



You might want to run some online scans to double-check it.



Here are some online scans, Trend, AVG, and panda are good.

If this is a ''ZERO-DAY'' exploit or a root-kit, it may take a day or two until they are able to detect it.



If you think you have it and it's not picked up in a AV scanner



and have a recent system restore point, I would consider restoring to the point before you clicked on the web link.



You are correct to be very concerned.
Geesssshhhh. Please don't get everyone paranoid about getting a virus. It was just a spammer. No virus, No spyware, No adaware. Nothing. Just someone most likely getting something in return for people visiting that page.



Anyway I have not seen them around here for almost a hour now. So it looks like they have been dealt with.
dont trust anybody.



Trust your antivirus , keep the update .
