• The Fake Spyware Removal Virus- Inexplicably able to infect through FB and IMDB- Beware!

I know I don't need to tell the majority of you what the anti-spyware removal program virus is, it's a horrible little piece of shit, that some real piece of shit created to screw over a lot of people. But, I feel it is valuable to share an experience that happened to me a mere 20 minutes ago. I wasn't on porn, in fact I was looking at The Other Guys on IMDB and talking to a friend on Facebook, suddenly Zone Alarm began asking if I wanted to allow connection to some wierd program made up of numbers. Naturally I said no- yet it still attacked. Within moments, things started appearing all over the desktop, it even removed my sidebar gadgets!? Next it changed my desktop background to a threatening message. Immediately I enabled an internet lock, alas it was too late, what ever this thing was it was on my computer, but, it was all a show. Thankfully I'd only encountered this disease before, I knew what I was dealing with. But that time it was porn. Fact is, I don't know how it attacked. There was no illegitimate means for it to access my computer- hence I feel its necessary to say this- the only potential means I can imagine it got in was through a hacked legit piece of software accessing the internet on my comp. What that is, I don't know. But, here is the simple fix. This very well may happen to you, and it may seem like a very stressful, tense situation if it does. You won't be able to get on the internet, so unless you have an un infected computer nearby, you're going to be fucked for help. So remember these simple steps! If you're infected by the fake anti spyware virus, immediately turn your computer off. Reboot into safe mode by pressing F8 on startup. Go into safe mode with network- then when your up and running, head into Accesories on the start bar- System Tools- System Restore. If you've been quick enough, there will be a saved version of your computer- access that, everything will be back to how it was. I know you aren't stupid and this will have been put on here before, but this was a new version of that virus. When I last had it, it activated after I was retarded. This time, it just lunged in and raped my fragile tight asshole, and spunked into my lower intestine. If you don't shit out the spunk, it stays in there. And then you'll get cancer. If you get infected by this fucker, remember everything it shows you is a great big performance, nothing is real, there is no real virus. All you have to do, is reinstall, and recover an older version of your computer. Or, restore factory settings if your into that. If that doesn't work, the long hard way is avaialble upon googling. Just achknowledge your not screwed until you activate it after it tries to fool you. Also don't go on imagefap and type lolita, so wasn't worth it.
I really hate to say this but, [Citation Needed]
I know it will seem very unbelievable I wasn't looking at porn, but there would be no point in me making this thread if I had been. If it was a stupid, embarressing I'd have left it, but it really did come out of no where. Freaked me out especially when it changed my desktop background.
Just because you were browsing IMDB at the time you became aware you had it, doesn't mean it is the cause.
Oh I saw some warning like that on IMDB.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;28303847]Just because you were browsing IMDB at the time you became aware you had it, doesn't mean it is the cause.[/QUOTE] I definitely agree- I'm not saying that website was. But it was at that point suspicious things started happening, the tab wouldn't close, computer started churning, and like Isaid Zonealarm began flashing like a mother fucker. I hadn't been on the comp before then for hours, and it had been on the entire time I was away.
Dumb. Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in safe mode and full scan. Works well!
lol zonealarm
Use Chrome, and enjoy the wonders of a fully sandboxed browser(even better if you disable plugins or change them to click to run only). Also, ZoneAlarm is shit really.
System restore doesn't remove viruses. It just changes all your settings back to an earlier date. That's how you can download something and it'll still be there when you restore your computer.
Talking of websites and viruses, if you stay too long on groovesharks website home page theres currently adverts on the website that attempts at redirecting the webpage and going to a site covered in malware, the only work around for that is to go onto on of the websites tabs rather than stay on the home screen. I'm not sure if this is late or not.
[QUOTE=DrKinkyKinkles;28306798]System restore doesn't remove viruses. It just changes all your settings back to an earlier date. That's how you can download something and it'll still be there when you restore your computer.[/QUOTE] It backs up system files.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;28303960]Dumb. Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in safe mode and full scan.

Use a browser that isn't terrible and you'll be invulnerable to sandboxing exploits. Though, I doubt you were penetrated through the sites you mentioned.

I've run into this "Virus" before, not sure on the one you picked up however what I came across likes to hide itself in the Local Settings hidden folder in any one the parent folders in "Users" or "Documents and Settings", respectively, Win7/Vista or XP. It will try to replicate itself when you delete it and will download .dll files to your computer, usually placed in system32. Thats when it gets... "fun". Malwarebytes wont pick it up because it does not run in a malicious way, only the .dlls do so its rather hard to get rid of. There's two forms of it I know of, an EXE with random numbers and/or letters as the file name or a batch file with a script or two in the same folder. The EXE will just flash a bunch of crap to you and is fairly easy to be rid of, the batch one is in my experience, the pain in the ass jimbo was referring to. Does this ring any bells to anyone else here?
ok you said it raped your fragile tight ass and then you said removing it was long and hard getting the feeling this is some heavily modified copypasta
Stupid shit like this is why I run Linux, and only Linux on my systems.
