&^@(#$*& !!!!!!
« on: April 19, 2009, 05:10 am »

I got the msn virus from everybodys favorite kratas and now I cant do anything about it

Ive looked up NUMEROUS ways to fix it and NONE work

going into system configuration and startup doesnt do anything the file(s) arent there. And Ive tried everything available including a very nice msn virus remover which said Im clean but as Luigi or Zero can attesst Im obviously not and this is absolutely pissing me off because I use MSN every [censored] day

Wait msn virus? And Kratas is spreading this stuff? Woww seems like I missed a lot  :wall

Well I don't know a lot about computers. Actually I lied. I know almost nothing. But if a program was infected would uninstalling it and running scans and antiviruses, then reinstalling it help at all? Sorry if I sound like an idiot stating this, just trying to help lol

when the msn virus infects someone it sends everybody on their contact list random links to piccys and when if people click them then they get infected

well, to make one thing clear: it's not Kratas fault. he probably got infected the same way you did.
changing the pw usually works btw.
and if you get a link, ask the other what it is. if you get no answer you can asume that it's not him who sent you the link....

Listen to Porg, my friend.  The man is sage in his teachings...  That was a genuine compliment, just felt like adding a little light-hearted humor along with it, to at least get some chuckles....

Nevertheless, take the best advice offered, and good luck!

To make sure you don't get it again put your firewall on maximum alert. After every week run a virus scan. Look at the results. Get Firefox, a web browser. If you get a virus stuck in the computers programming well  your dead.


GET FIREFOX WEB BROWSER!!!!!!!! You don't get any viruses with it.  :) :) :)
