Default F-ing Pr0n Virus'!!!

I was trying to look at some dirty shit today and when clicking on some free dirty crap I got a "Trojan" of some sorts that is apparently some crazy ass virus from Russia.

Here is the best info I got about removing it but it's been a pain in the ass.
http://www.xp-vista.com/spyware-remo...l-instructions

I heard some people say they had success with Spyhunter 3. It's $30 which is better than a new computer. I might just give up and get that. Any suggestions?

I have WindowsXP.

Fucking Soviets. Can't let us Capitalists enjoy Free Porn because they can't get it.

I never trust those "fixes" for viruses... every time I get a virus I just re-format... it's rare... but it's happened a time or two.

I download until my hard drive gets full... Then I spend a few weeks watching all of it and deleting the stuff that is either low quality, or doesn't excite me... There are a few that I have kept throughout the years that always scratch the itch...

I have gotten two porn viruses and both I believe were caused in the hopethat I would buy the virus software that kept crashing my computer like holding for ransom or some shit. Reformatting has always worked for me pita though.....

Create a backup disc next time... I ghosted one a while back and it makes life so much easier... I can low level format and be up and running 100% within an hour...

Smart man


*/geek on*

First off.... you fuktard, what do you expect. Are you currently running an anti-virus in the first place? Probably not one that works if you caught that shit.

Go download AVG www.grisoft.com or free.grisoft.com if you're lazy and don't want to pay. The free is just as good as the regular. I went paid after having it for a year.... Figured I owed them some love for keepin my shit clean.

Second. DO YOUR FUCKING UPDATES..... You won't believe HOW many people get f'ked over because they don't do their windows updates. When I ran an ISP (that's Internet Service Provider for you non-geek speakers) one of my documents I included was basic information on how to keep your shit up to date on both windows and Macs. Macs' tend to have an easier time because there's such a small market share for them, so hence most viruses are written engineered in a Windows (Microsoft) environment. There's still Mac and Linux (or whatever flavor of *ix you run) so still keep your ass up to date and protected.


Okay. NOw, I'd try to clean that shit first.... But honestly, I'd wipe. When my shit gets TRUELY infected (which yoru shit just got jacked, mofo) that's a wipe, plain and simple.


Invest a lil' bit of money in imaging products, such as Ghost or well, Alteris, but that's more of an enterprise thing. Ghost will pretty much work for what ya need to do. I know you're so used to downloading free shit off the web w/ their haxors on them... but c'mon. Shell out cash when the shit matters. (Ie anti-virus and imaging/ghosting). Quit being a lazy douchebag.

Next? I'd advise using a portable HDD (usb) or a secondary HDD or hell if you're on a laptop, once you kill the thing. set up a 10-15gb partition and only install the OS on it. Everything else, (games, programs, movies, pr0n) keep/install on the other partition or HDD. That way when you inevitably DO have to wipe (and you will) you don't loose a lot of your settings (providing you backup your profile every once in a while too) keep your game saves, keep your pr0n, program installs, haxors, etc etc. C'mon, be smart... Reloading an OS is gonna happen. At least be ready for it fucker.

Finally..... KEep that SHIT off your desktop. Don't put all your music, videos, whatever on your desktop. it slows your fucking system down because it has to load it all into memory. *smack*

As long as you don't rant about not downloading internet pr0n, I can agree with you.
