[quote:15zmrric]@DravenX: Are you sure the virus came through WebGL and not some other browser flaw? How are you certain it was WebGL? I've never heard of such a serious bug in WebGL - most of the security articles state the worst it can do is reboot your computer or steal a screenshot.
Well i played a sonic type web browser game thing that used webgl and the next day when i tried to acces my external hd i was locked out ,I did a system check and the virus was inside my internet's temp files,The file that was infected was indeed that sonic type game.Thats what i saw on my antivirus logfile anyway.It was a .js file that was infected.
Remember a virus begin's as a small thing rebooting pc's etc.. but it evolves all the time and get's more malicious as hrov@ck3rs add to the code.But i don't think anything is secure as far as the internet goes.Anyone can create malicious apps these days even if it is illegal to do so.
The virus i had was called sophos.js.Or at least that file got infected somehow.It then created an exe file disguised as a recycle bin which gives the intruder full admin rights over the external HD.It was easy to remove it manually ,Every time my antivirus tried to delete the file it made another copy of itself when the pc was restarted.I had to delete it's registry entries etc... to get it off.So anything that that has javascript or webgl won't work on my pc anymore because im not taking that risk of knowing that it could harm my gfx card or cpu the next time it comes around.
