Hi everyone,

My computer was seriously screwed-over today when I was attacked by some really nasty spyware. It installs a 'fake' version of WMP and whenever you run it a worm is executed, and various .exe files are executed.

I suggest getting Ad-Aware 6 [URL]http://www.lavasoftusa.com[/URL] and downloading the latest reference file (released today- thankfully) which solves this problem.

You can find more information about it here: [URL]http://webhelper.netfirms.com/transponders/wmplayerkiller.html[/URL]

Just a warning- you won't always get attacked but trust me- this is pretty nasty.

Hope this helps, in some way.

You are a guy, guy's usually like porn.

There's nothing wrong with admitting you we're taking a sneaky peek at some quality porno.

Unless it was man-porn. Sorry, no, take your business elsewhere.

Dahaha... really funny.

I found the website whilst looking for pictures to go in MSN. No porn whatsoever.

Not even looked at porn? Because looking at porn is downloading it.

Do you happen to have a golden circle above your head? And a pair of dulux brilliant white coloured wings?

No, I was browsing earlier and came across a website called belguim something-or-other. Anyway, all these popups came up, then en arror box popped up saying that Windows files have been changed, insert Xp SP1 disc to fix it etc. Then a program tried accessing the Internet and it all went downhill from there.

And no, I've never downloaded porn in my life.
