Well... About an hour ago (From this post) I was infected with an evil virus which was well, not deadly... But it was annoying... I am a careful browser and all, but I was watching movies and it said I needed this codec to view it. So I downloaded it and instead... It downloads 3 or so more objects, 2 of them being viruses and spyware. Now, I'm freaking out, nervous and scared and crying lol. And I quickly run Ad-Aware and AVG, and quickly uninstall the malicious software and delete it. And just 5 minutes ago, I am now virus free... I'm running Ad-Aware one more time just to make sure there's no keyloggers or anything.. Don't want my Runescape account hacked now do I? :) I've had this sort of thing happen before, and each time I've triumphed! Any comments? This is just a story and all. Considering it has nothing to do with Runescape I didn't post it in BlogScape.

If you want to talk to me, send me a message, I check the boards daily. :D

I reccomend getting a firewall, so you can find out if wierd programs are connecting to the internet

Bleh. AVG catches viruses usually when they get put in. We have a Firewall on our router I believe or something (I'm on a networked comp) so it does also worry me that the virus will spread into the other comp or something lol. But it's fixed. It installed some thing that kept wanting me to click it because I had a "Virus" and to install this one anti-virus program. It was annoying but it's fixed now and I'm happy that my computer didn't like explode :P

You can post a hijackthis log to make sure that the virus is gone, if you'd like. We will look through it and check for anything evil :)
