It sounds like a virus, a serious one.

Have you been wearing your aluminium foil hat?

They can hear what you are thinking you know.......

shhhh

be quiet

I ran ad-aware last night and cleaned everything up... do you really think its a virus??

How do I find out? How do I make it better??

The voices in my head from space tell me that Ad-aware will not protect you from viruses.

Do you have an anti-virus program?

If not I can tell you where to get it checked online........

but dont talk about the penguins or they'll eat me again

I thought that I had Norton on here, but going thru my stuff, I don't see it.

Where can I get one, and how much is it?

Penguins?

I thought they were dead...

<a href='http://housecall.trendmicro.com/' target='_blank'>http://housecall.trendmicro.com/</a> go there and it will scan your PC online, will take a while though and your computer will get slow while its running.

If you need Norton pm me and I can send it to you over MSN or something

thanks, Doggy.. I got the ad-aware last night from download.com. I dunno if I even needed it, but after scanning, it "found" 185 new objects...

Ad-Aware searches for "spyware" Verti............. thats like stuff that tracks your online use, gives you pop-ups... shit like that.
Its more for advertising and marketing, not really viruses.
But that shit still slows your computer down, so its a good program to have.
Some of what it will find is harmless though.........

some is bad though

You really need an anti-virus program too

Does your PC only start a shut down countdown when you're surfing the web?

.:VerTiGo:. · Post by **.:VerTiGo:.** » 20-06-04, 4:23 pm

So far, yes- each time it has shut down I have been on the internet. It gives no warning- just on one second and then off the next.

I was prettu certain that I had Norton on here, but I don't... I suppose its possible that I uninstalled it when I was cleaning everything out.. but damn-

I don't think I would have done that..

So...

<a href='http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php' target='_blank'>http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php</a>

.:VerTiGo:. · Post by **.:VerTiGo:.** » 20-06-04, 4:49 pm

no.. no box with a countdown. Just BAM- g'bye.

I just click that link?

Okay, so I downloaded the free edition, and it took nearly 20 minutes to scan everything... ended up finding 13 files infected with the trojan virus. Looking at the 'scan report', it 'healed' 8 of those viruses, and the other 5 had to be moved to the 'virus vault' What does that mean? Are they gone?? :huh:

Anyway, thanks a whole bunch for your help, v0id.
