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.

If it just wanted to screw your system over, then it wasn't Spyware, most probably a virus or a worm.
Spyware does what it says, spies on you. Monitors web activity, sends targeted adverts to you, hijacks your search pages etc, but if it screws your system, it's a virus.

It was spyware- by screwing my system I meant multiple pop-ups and dodgy processes.
What did you download?
Porn.
We're all thinking it, im just saying it.

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.

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

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

No, I haven't actually.
Why is that so hard to believe anyway?
