First up, my POS computer that I do the majority of posting on is completely wrecked with a virus that says its a virus scan. I'm planning on wiping the whole thing, but this may take a while. Also one of my good computer's graphics cards got fried for some unknown reason at this time. It could just be the card, but the whole thing could be acting up. So, if I suddenly disappear, these are the reasons. |

Are you sure it's the card? What's it doing? |

My monitor kept saying theres nothing connected. The card has been removed and its working again, so I'm going to assume it was the card. |

The virus is called Smitfraud. There are a variety of tools available online to get rid of it, but it's an insidious thing. It tends to eat up processing power too, so if you have a piece of failing hardware, it tends to kill it. My old HD died when I got it. |

What, a virus pretending to be a virus scan? I cant access anything because the file is apparantly 'infected' and the only way to do uninfect it is to shell out on some 'virus protection software'. I've removed all my drives, and when the thing does the 'scan' it saying there are things on my C and F drives, which I know is BS because I removed them... |

Yeah, it's a virus that pretends it's an antivirus. It points you to a fraudulent site where you pay for the 'upgrade', which doesn't fix anything at all. GO HERE and download the fix. The virus won't let you do google searches on ways to get rid of it, but a direct link should work. |

Cant even get the internet up on the infected computer. I'll probably just wipe it. Only one who's going to be annoyed is my sister because she'll have to download all the WOW patches again. Edited by SaintlyTurkey, Jun 14 2009, 03:01 AM.

That's probably the only way you'll completely rid yourself of the thing anyway. If I were you, I'd start using Firefox (if you don't already) with the NoScript add on. NoScript automatically blocks all incoming scripts (including trojans as insidious as smitfraud) and is a little bit of a pain to calibrate at first because you have to add all exceptions manually, but I don't even have an antivirus program anymore because NoScript does such a good job. |

I know this sort of dosnt go here but here goes. Sorry for the huge unannounced leave of absence, I started a new job recently and was bouncing around two jobs which was no fun. I finally got into the swing of things enough to get my butt back on RE. I have a LOT of catching up to do. I now work Security for a Home Depot warehouse. Transcon you should switch back to long haul and bring a load to the HD 5034RDC. Broker a load for JB or something... Anyhow I'm mostly back, glad to see the Helm Inn isnt dead as a doornail. |

I LIVE- okay you know what, I'm just going to say I'm back because now all the things that have been butchering me year long has finally subsided. Now.... I'm a free man! Sort of. I've graduated folks! GRADUATED! Sea World, Senior Trip, ASSASSINATIONS, Boardwalk and roller coaster, the beach, dinner cruise, San Diego Padres game(we got to go to it), and a seagull pooping on my head! I know, it's disgusting but I don't care because now I have graduated and now I'm on my way to college to be a Poke'mon Master(aka I'm going to be a Developer. Possibly for Nintendo or whatever). So.... yeah, I'm sorry I've been absent all year guys. Senior Year was important. And now all show bow to my theme song! (song is a property of ZUN) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9JMbel2CKs&feature=related Woooo! (sorry, excited) Edit: Please forgive me guys. Edited by Kid Hunter, Jun 18 2009, 06:43 PM.
