    Default Virus?

    Every time I come to this forum on my school's computer, a virus installs on the computer. This virus comes in form of a fake Anti-Virus program (how ironic) and to get rid of it, you got to buy the program, which is a fraud. My computer came down with it at least twice, maybe 3 times last year every time I came to .Org, and now 4 or 5 school computers, including 2 within 15 minutes of each other today came down with it. And my old comp I'm using now blocks the attacks too.

    Just thought I let you guys know.

    That sounds like a very nasty one Warman, I haven't seen it myself, but that says little as ads can be specific for one or more countries. Do you have some information about how the program is called?

    I got a link on it TosaInu.


    And after a while, it stops internet access, then lets you back on, only to their websites and to porn sites (it actually pops porn sites up on the screen every few minutes) .

    I'll contact the host and see what he can find out about it. Is anyone else experiencing the same problems?

    This virus got me before. Once today actually it tried. If you shut it down while doing the virus scan it seems to be no problem. Pain in the tookus it is!

    I'm using current Firefox with AdBlock plug-in, hence I don't see or hear any ads.
