| 570436 | 2007-07-20 07:17:00 | And I've been on broadband pretty much since Jetstream was first available and no infections. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 570437 | 2007-07-20 07:21:00 | Maybe you need to spread the word Cyabro, since you would be in the minority of computer users judging by all the infected PC users out there. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 570439 | 2007-07-20 07:30:00 | I hadn't thought of that:( :eek: | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 570440 | 2007-07-20 12:39:00 | Or he might not realise he's been infected... :illogical Well that could be true but if I have been infected without my knowledge then nothing has ever happened because of it. |

You have plenty of up to date anti-malware products. Don't use MS broswers/email. I got close once, one of my warning systems went off when I went to download a dodgy file. But I kind of expected it. |

| 570442 | 2007-07-20 21:00:00 | Greg, I'm assuming you have either visited a site that looked like the regular site (but your browser may have been redirected while on its way to that site). Thats the only way I can think of To the thread hijackers, I have been online for over 5 years, never let paranoia control my browsing habits, and got one or 2 or more viruses. I really don't care about them. If I get one, so be it, remove it (good practice anyway :D). But that was in my windows days |

| 570443 | 2007-07-20 21:08:00 | I have been to some dodgy sites where NOD32 kept popping up with its red warning screen :D | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 570444 | 2007-07-20 23:39:00 | Update: Well I ran Hijackthis and Spybot and both came up clean. I got some manual removal instructions for the issas.exe but found no trace of it whasoever in the registry nor anywhere else. I found two instances of vpwodsr - one in system32 and another as a prefetch file. I couldn't find any reference to this on the Net, so I guess it's a randomly named file. I simply renamed them and will see what happens. Anyway, system is now clean again. Thanks for all the comments. |
