It might be this "new" popular virus where it pops up one of your contact window ( Wich actually have it ) and send some stupid crap message like: "Do you think i'm cute?" or how do i look in this picture and it try to send a .exe file <_<, if not, i guess that is the other common one when the contact with virus while it's talking it sends a .exe file, but this one is strange, you don't know when the message will come =P

Crono > Those viruses are have been around longer than you think. They just aren't very common because most people know to decline them. I consider Sword of Seals exempt, though. He had absolutely no knowledge of these viruses. Treklink > I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's one of those bots. Another friend of mine had one and it slowly destroyed his computer. He even obtained it the exact same way. Remember, kiddies, computer programming can be dangerous in the hands of those who live to do evil. Always review your files before you download, accept, open or even exchange. Your computer will thank you with its ability to function properly.

It should also be noted that you can get viruses from simple documents, too.
I think that's enough spam for this thread. <_<

Message to all :
Yes, I caught the virus, and now my laptop is completely ****ed. The laptop has take severe damage, and will no longer turn on.
I am using a school computer to write this.
I will be gone for a long time, I can guess. Untill i can afford a new computer, or find a way to fix it.
No idea when this will sort out.
Bye. I dont know how long for.

If there is one thing left to do, its to format your hard drive.

If there is one thing left to do, its to format your hard drive. That should nuke pretty much any virus, along with every other file your computer holds. Be sure to fdisk the master boot record, too (fdisk/mbr). I hope you have your data backed up somewhere. I'm really curious to know what virus this is...

The Laptop randomly turned on today, It actually just let me turn on. Im still in safe mode.
When Re Formatting, will I still have all the stuff that my Computer had when I turned it on for the first time?
If so, I can re format to save myself. If not, then I'm kinda stuck ...

if you still have the installation disk that came with your Laptop *assumes its from a vendor like Dell, HP*, you can reinstall everything that came with it when you first bought it.

I have no Windows Installation Disc, or No where to back up my files. I'm screwed. And I'm with Acer.

Heh my laptop is Acer, and dunno if this "super" virus allows you to, but you can reboot your pc, that means erase everything, but the stuffs you want, and i know that's possible, i've seen someone doing that 4 times in this Acer xP and just to erase junk >_>

If you have no sort Windows installation disc, no recovery CDs that came with the laptop, and no way to back up your files, then yes, you're screwed.
If you can still access Safe Mode, I would buy an external USB hard drive and copy all my important files to it (all the ones that weren't backed up anyways). USB should at least work in Save Mode...
So I guess the lesson here is 1) back up your stuff if you don't want to lose it, and 2) don't open attachments from people you don't know, or executables or batch files from people you do know (they should know better). My condolences.

When my PC run slow I re-boot my PC, it just erases all the programs and files you had after you purchased the PC(or laptop), dunno if it works with Acer though.

Is this still being run? I don't mean to be a pessimist, with the supposed leaderboard going up at AllIsBrawl, I don't know if there's a point in maintaining a scoreboard here...
If everyone here thinks running this is still worthwhile, I may be able to commission someone on another website to come up with a program that will automatically tally up points for everyone on the scoreboard. I can't guarantee that, but if SoS has his heart set on maintaining this, and everyone else has their heart set on participating, I'll be happy to look into it.
