dubstar Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I assume everyone is happy with there virus protection?Just asking because I use Avast (which is free to home users, regularly updated, and was swearing blue murder at me yesterday everytime I went anywhere near this site.

BridLupo Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 AVG sprang up as soon as i came on the site. But only when i had opened it in internet explorer. The virus couldn't get in when i opened the site on firefox. Won't be ever using IE anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Firefox crashed everytime I tried to open CL yesterday because it was blocking the virus.I've just run a full system scan using Sophos & all appears to be well. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had 1 virus that infected 19 files. They were all temporty internet files of the Java variety. AVG saw them but couldn't get rid of them. After a google search CCleaner was promptly downloaded and the files cleaned up. Did another scan and they are all gone nowYeah i had the same but 16 infected files. It took me ages to get rid of then but ive done a check through the system and they have all gone now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had the joy of downloading it at work, luckily mcafee killed it. Should have taken spyware doctors advice and not opened the page. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1 Lupo Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have a legitimate copy of XP. But in reference to the pirate thing, it makes me wonder how many people celebrate international talk like a pirate day here? (September 19th.)

M1 Lupo Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I got a Doctors note due to bursting a blood vessel in my right eye on the 17th of September last year. I wore a black eye patch for one week. Then on International talk like a pirate day I greeted every customer with a warm and friendly "Yarrr!".
