ok, well just to fill yall in. Yesterday my computer was taken over by a virus...(get this...) called...[SIZE="5"]Anitvirus Live:[/SIZE]:banghead::banghead:
google searched it and found that "Spybot 1.6" removed it.
what a pain in the butt. dont know how it got on my computer, but it did.
few tips to this...(what to look for)
1.navy and grey shield icon in lower right hand(near the current time)
2."windows say your computer is infected and would you like to start your antivirus program?"(this is another window that pops up)
3.you will start getting BIG RED WINDOWS popping up that says "You are infected now! Run a scan!"
4.will take you to the Antivirus Live page where you can purchase the protection to fix the problem.
5. will automatically load adultporn.com on your desktop...:banghead::rubeyes:
so far, I downloaded Spybot1.6(Spybot search & destroy), installed and ran it. In order to do this, I had to restart the computer in "safe mode with Networking". the virus wont let you run any program in normal mode.
as of right now, the shield icon is gone,the computer is working and seems faster. so I think the spybot worked...hope none of you get this. if so, you should be ok, dont panic, and just google search "Antivirus Live" to learn more. Hope this helps,Chuck
