stefan_m Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 I had a fun one come through myspace the other day. It turned off automatic updates and wouldn't let me turn it back on, deleted my previous system restore settings, and wedged itself into both IE and Firefox. It would cause pop-ups for porn, system cleaning software, warez sites, etc. Really annoying and it took me a couple of hours to get rid of it. Jim, I got exactly the same thing on my computer... What did you do to fix it, other than re-installing the OS? I tried the explorer patch, with not much success, the automatic updates stay off, no matter what, so it seems to me that I will have to go back to the little chinese shop were I got the computer from and ask them to wipe the disk clean and re-install everything...

Stefan If you can get to free.grisoft.com, download and install the latest free version of AVG and let it scan your computer. It's the only thing I found that will fix it. If you can't get to the site (which is a distinct possibility since this bug limits where you can go), download and install AVG on another computer, put the harddrive from the infected computer into that computer and scan it from there.

robviti Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 "Popups for porn" carries a certain imagery... "popups for porn" is a good name for a band, don't you think? Quote
