Virus In-Game

<< < (2/2)

gazania:
A similar situation happened to me two or three years ago. I had actually downloaded the nasty thing a couple of days before, but for some reason, something triggered it days later, and things just went crazy. It took both my husband and I ten hours to fix that mess (shudders). I recall reading that sometimes, yes, there are "sleeper" nasties that rear their ugly heads when you least expect it. Not fun.

I use AVAST!, MBAM, Spywareblaster and Spybot, and use NoScript, Adware and Adblock when in Furryfox. When in Chrome, there is a Chrome Adblock-like download I use, but my policy is to be very, very careful what sites I visit while using Chrome. Actually, I try to be careful in Firefox, too. :). I use the Windows firewall.

When we were really stuck back then, techguy.org was a great help. People there gently and calmly walked me through the processes needed to help us get our computer back. Bleepingcomputer.com can help as well. I hope you have it all fixed by now. :)
