    My UB said it had to end program and then immediately after I got an alert from AVG saying "Trojan Horse Downloader Generic 8 BGD". These two events happened simultaneously as UB had to be "shut down".
    What is going on?

    What's going on is that you're playing on UB. Is there actually any mystery in this?

    I uninstalled too. It just makes you wonder how this could happen. It would mean that UB/AP is sending out trojans which means

    1) their security has been compromised

    2) they are really sending out trojans on purpose

    Option 2 would have to be the dumbest thing in the world for them to do so doesn't this mean that their security has been compromised? You can't tell me that the programmers fucked up at UB so much that they are sending out trojans. That would mean that the programmers put trojans into the software and that doesn't happen by mistake...

    Yea, same thing happened on AP.

    http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/false-...re-update-710/

    It just looks like programmers there made a retarded error and/or they didn't bug test the software release properly.

    It isn't actually a virus. Read the Poker News Daily article.

    Hey leets,

    It's an infected warez-spread trojan that has a downloader for its primary infector, and the downloader installs a special payload onto your computer for later execution - what is downloaded is controlled and changed.

    to use your computer for illegal activities such as money laundering, computer hacking and much more.

    Dude your accounts are about to be hacked

    Surely an upstanding poker room like UB or AP would never a put a virus on your computer.

    Highly doubtful this is where it came from, the payload was delivered earlier in the week and just got activated, you need to take corrective action immediatly, they will have banking info,poker info and more if you do more online.

    They usually have 1000 stroke keyloggers inserted in them to decrypt on the run so, format IMO is the best idea.

    These are terribad hard to get rid of as there is so many hidden fake extentions.

    Try avast antivirus and avg antivirus first.

    hit this site up aswell and do an online scan to get a better idea
