I'm sure you've probably noticed my lack of activity again. This time it's due to a crapload of viruses and malware that found its way onto my PC. Not sure what it was really, probably a combination of rootkits and a browser hijacking. After trying to fix it for a couple days, I gave up and formatted everything, after backing up all my critical files of course. I didn't lose much of anything really, but I need to get it all back onto my computer, and that is going to be a pain.

Expect delays as I get my computer up and running again.

Well that seriously ain't good. Hope that everything's going smooth and dandy. We also completely understand the situation you are in, so good luck with that.

Damn man :( And that right on the moment you revived....

Get a site advisor like "WOT" , i've bein virus free for like 1 year without any security protection because of it

I dont have any virus protection, if I have one I use malwarebytes to clean my disk of it.

Stuff like that always happens when you lead a mod, its murphy's law.

I would suggest downloading Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes anti malware they are both very good

personally i use both and have not had a virus i couldn't get rid of of course i also have Avast installed as well

OH LOOK! A GUY WHO'S GIVING US AWESOME FREE MATERIAL! LET'S SEND A SHITLOAD OF VIRUSES TO HIS COMPUTER!

In fact, jam as many Anti-virus as you can and see what happens.

Quit browsing for porn too much . Use Kaspersky Internet Security if you can, its the best I've used so far.

Even only having 2 can make your computer go bonkers...

Can we talk about security software elsewhere plz? Stay on topic.

Just giving him advice on how to best ensure it doesn't happen again.

That's ontopic, no?

I was referring to the comparison of antivirus software that took place actually.

Well guess anti-virus is programmed to fight each other huh?


Or get another non-work computer and use that as a 'front-line scanner' when inspecting USB's and such...also used for browsing..........
