| 1344980 | 2013-06-07 20:25:00 | Some software that you regularly update has little changes with the install package that fools most to include unwanted Toolbars or worse,even c-cleaner has been guilty of this and Freemake video converter is another one to watch with addons | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1344981 | 2013-06-07 21:23:00 | At least if you (forget to do a custom install), and install Chrome or whatever Gmail program (as part of ccleaner), you can uninstall it. Anything you download from Cnet, (if the downloaded file has the word cnet in it), it'll infect your system, since they alter the install files, and put their own junk in it. It'll be harder to remove it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1344983 | 2013-06-07 22:16:00 | The malware is part of the install if you download ANYTHING (with the word cnet in it from cnet). I dont think it'll matter whether you did a custom install or not.You'll get infected | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Thats why I mentioned Avast was no good, it doesn't detect such add ins like open candy. Nod32 will actually stop the complete program from downloading fully -- Doing the on line scan with Nod actually confirms it would have caught the infections. | wainuitech (129) | ||

Anyway, installed the trial version of Nod, ran a full system scan, no more detections. :thanks |

| 1344987 | 2013-06-08 02:43:00 | Ah, and the culprit has been found. A theme/skin pack for Windows. Wondered if it was the problem, downloaded the file again, scanned with Nod - all clean, no problems. Ran it, and within about 2 seconds Nod blocked the installation, as it was trying to install all the infections again. I'm starting to really see why Nod is liked. |

| 1344988 | 2013-06-08 03:07:00 | No Antivirus is perfect, including Nod32, but some are better than others at detecting certain things. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1344989 | 2013-06-08 03:20:00 | If you've still got downloads from cnet or download.com now delete them | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
