this is not really a virus

but instead it's a adware..

let me tell your how it works.

It will bluff u by saying your com is infected but in fact they want u to buy their so call anti-virus. most of the times it will ask if u want to install a free virus scan.. Now thats the tricky part. After u installed it, it will plant a adware virus thingy and will keep telling u that u are infected or something. At this moment u will find that your com is lagging due to that adware.

Can't change means you've installed it for more than 30 days. Just skip those parts.

I believe I'm mistaken that you visited a porn site. That doesn't mean you didn't. Those videos - most of them are porn.

This stupid spyware just changed tactics.

Try pressing F5.

If it doesn't work, then scan in Normal Mode instead.

Yes, you have to scan again.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

When you play enough with such things, you will most likely know if something is bad.

jay_rocks SG

hais… guess i’ll have to scan it all over again.

You normally get it when you watch porn or other pirated videos
And it will prompt you to download a codec in order to watch the video (active x)

once you download it. TIO!

So, never download a codec if u dont trust a source or webpage. Play the video first. If there's sound but there isnt any video. it's just some cloaking thing that makes the whole screen black. And then it prompts you to download the codec. Use your brain, cause if your player is able to play the sound, it's able to play the video. If not it will have a (!) besides it.

Default IE settings = auto

God cares if it prompts you to download... only the old ones do it, new ones very auto.

The moment you go that page, ActiveX runs and you tio.

Better than striking Toto or 4D. Mr. Green

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan. Please use Internet Explorer as it uses ActiveX.

Last scan, hopefully you can go off clean.
