    Default Anybody else get a virus tonight?

    I got one from the stream I guess.

    Somehow managed to get the internet working long enough to figure out something which apparently has fixed it.

    am now running anti-virus (mine had gone out of date) and its come up with 56 files so far saying virus found corrupted but at least the computer seems to be working now.

    Kept on getting this I'm sure fake but official looking anti-virus popup saying I needed to buy the official version to fix it and they needed a credit card.

    that and a gay porn phone site thing that couldn't be closed out. And firefox wouldn't even open and the computer would just shut off at times.

    Fuck I thought my computer was fucked. Thank you MSconfig.

    I'm just happy Donaire won so we don't have to listen to Bilbo.

    I bet anything you got it from the last link for the Jones/Lacy fight that you guys were using. I couldn't get it to work, but Danny got it to come up, and he started biatching right away, and knew it was a fuked link, and closed it right away.

    Oh, and you need a better anti-virus.

    Yup...

    ...I got a virus too!

    Just logged on to the computer I used to watch the fight last night and it was just bugging out! We have 4 computers in the house and for some reason I chose to use the one that was just about to break when I usually pick the good ones for fights. I was already debating to buy a new one but now, it just makes the decision easier.

    My computer is acting fine and my anti-virus doesn't detect anything. I'd wager I still got it though.

    mine was called skynet, cute. I apparently got rid of it which shocked people on this computer website (bleepingcomputer.com, very helpful, I'm sure they're thrilled with the endorsement) but it was one of those viruses that are mainly known for getting credit card information, luckily I had a credit card disaster years ago and mainly avoid them now, I did call my bank cause I do online banking but nothing.

    So aside from running an anti-virus scan, which I've done, is there anything else I can do to check and see if my computer was infected as well?
