Virus Dicks: 0 Me: 1

Posted 01-16-2009 at 12:05 PM by Laser
Well I was downloading some Oasis songs somewhat illegally and I happened to click this exclamation mark which was red on my not very often used downloader program when I had my virus scanner off.

So when I next turn on my computer, I am bombared with popups, my background has been changed to a badly spelled warning sign, my task manager is disabled and its ridiculously slow.

Needless to say that after 3 virus scans ( with 3 different virus killers) and an entire Disk Check, my computer is back to normal

That's something similar to what happened to my laptop. Except with porn. Now I have "TITS AND ASS" icons plastered onto my desktop. But grats for defeating the virus. Have a cookie?

I was stupid enough to allow a program that look semi-legit run on my computer. Nothing really bad happened, except that whenever I boot up my computer, two error messages pop up saying some random file in the system folder won't run. But I just close them out and that's the last of it until the next startup.

Try as I might, I keep coming to the conclusion that the virus won.

Get Malwarebyte's Antimalware.. That usually takes care of some viruses... Or Combofix and HijackThis... If you know how to use them, you can remove a lot of stuff. Combofix also automatically removes some viruses.

MalwareByte and Hijackthis were 2 of the programs I used

Well I used Hijackthis to see what was running but it still helped(ish)

BTW I know Max, but I will remain in denial and belive I won
