i was bored and clicking around in L&S and got intrigued by that thread about PT and feeling dirty, etc.
looked like it was good for some laughs and proceeded to click the link and BOOM, i have a really nasty virus on my computer now

my computer is next door running in safe mode, trying to get rid of it using malware bytes
wish me luck **sigh**

many many thanks to chip who has been helping me out

i called avg and they want $130 to $200 to fix it!
i seriously cant afford that so if the fix chip is talking me through doesnt work, i am screwed...

eff phantasy tour in its stupid bum
NEVER going there again!

Are you running and anti-virus? If so, it should alert you to potential hazards. Sorry to hear, Dee...

All that to see a girl with glowsticks stuck in her ass

[tyedyedee]

i never even got to see ANYTHING!
i clicked once and BOOM
i got boofed with a virus

and i am running avg and malware bytes, obviously to no avail

[gram-man]

If you can't get it off with those two programs, you can post over on the bleepingcomputer.com forums and they will help you get the computer clean. Follow the instructions as to what programs they want you to run and the post back the logs they ask for. They've helped me on more than a few computers that we didn't want to go through the pain of rebuilding from the ground up.

[tyedyedee]

matt, i just looked over there and found two thread addressing what i have
problem is i appear to not speak that language
guess i will keep running the malware bytes scan and see what happens
if that doesnt work i dont know what to do

And NOOOOODDDDDDRRRRRRSSSSS!

[tyedyedee]

this sucks so much

[Depends]

dee,
there are a few things you can check.
while in safe mode, open IE. go to internet options, then connections. click on LAN settings. unchecked use proxy (if checked that is)
them run malwarebytes.
if that doesn't help. download avast. it is free. look for the check box for "boot scan "

for many of these viruses, avast is the only option to fix. the boot scan runs an antivirus scan before windows loads, making it safer to run.

I think i picked up an obnoxious computer virus today. When you press S in a browser, the save winow opens. Same with O, V, etc. it's like the shortcut disease. Haven't tried to fix yet.

Don't pay some "Tech" assclown to fix your comp for $180. Just reformat if the AVs can't handle it. It's really quite easy.

That does not sound like a virus. Sounds like your CTRL key is stuck...

PT itself shouldn't infect your computer, although it could cause mental distress. If my work computer lets me load it, PT is probably safe. The virus might have come from somewhere else, and happened to activate around the time you decided to read that thread.

[tyedyedee]

i absolutely got it from visiting that forum
lesson learned
never again

i asked a couple techie type boardie pals to help me out and although they gave me real good advice, nothing worked
but i appreciate their time SOOO much! ((((chip)))) ((((tom))))

so matt gets the award cuz i went to bleepingcomputer.com and the helpful geeks over there took me right to a fix for this particular issue
it took a 7 hour scan to isolate, quarantine and eradicate the fucker but as of now, my laptop seems to be its outdated, crappy-ass self again
thank you matt! ((((you))))

[B. Diddy]

Correlation is not causation.

Good luck, Dee. Viri suck.

[elder]

Glad your puter is feeling better Dee.
Now stay away from the wookie porn and fire that other one up so you got backup.
If you get stuck, you know where I am (here for you)

[TEO]

Yeah, why no virus alert signal given?

[In A Silent Way]

I suck at the internets. I'm sorry I had a fight at your black panther party.

[Chip]

Good to hear, I never heard of bleeping computer, but whatever works.

[bigtoddy]

backup everything to an external, then you don't have to worry about this kind of crap. Just wipe clean and reinstall.

[gregoir]

There is no way PT gave your computer a virus, unless you mean an actual link on PT.

Glad you're working again! Be safe surfing the interwebs. Easier to pickup something on it than it is at a whore house in Thailand!

[sarah b.]

I let it sit overnight and just started 'er up. It's fine again. Whew! likely was control key. d'oh.

[lilphlower]

is this what you meant?

[bigtoddy]

I click on all sorts of links I shouldn't from PT, and I've never had a problem. Of course now that I say this, I will.

I think I should not click the link inside Juggalos now how to rage NSFW while I'm at work.

Ooohh it's pretty unicorns and rainbows, soooo shiny and pretty

[Speckta]

NOD32 is only like $30 per year.

You may want to look into that.

[bigtoddy]

No not at work, but dan those juggalos party hard.

[tyedyedee]

Yeah, why no virus alert signal given?

nope, but when i went to bleepingcomputer.com and asked a question in their chat room, they said this particular attack is pretty insidious and harmful and that most anti-virus programs cant catch it in time...guess the fucktards who spend their time creating these things are making them smarter and smarter

There is no way PT gave your computer a virus, unless you mean an actual link on PT.

yeah...i guess i shouldnt blame PT cuz it was a link...i didnt mean to click on it but my laptop was hanging up and i was trying to click on something else and mistakenly clicked elsewhere and that was it for me...
still, i dont see a lot of redeeming virtues over there...guess i am spoiled by this place

I was informed by our ISP this afternoon that we were sending out mail purporting to be from the United Nations.

In that case you should do all sorts of illegal stuff and claim diplomatic immunity.

So Dee, did you ever get to see those salacious photos?

[tyedyedee]
