Choice Poker virus

Choice Poker's new owners apparently have the additional problem on their hands of a rogue virus on the site that has been infecting visitors. Several players reported the virus this week and software provider Dobrosoft has been alerted.

One player reported, "I got backdoored and hacked, and it started downloading stuff before I could disconnect from the Internet. The original backdoor virus was downloaded on a pageload from choicepoker.com. I was not running my antivirus but once rebooted I retraced my steps and this virus tried to install itself every time I reloaded or visited Choice. If you have ever been to their website check your system out."

The virus is reported to be a Trojan: Exploit-MhtRedir.gen. Choice Poker had not responded to our requests for an update as we went to press.
