Any viruses hanging around?

Don't forget to rub salt in those wounds. That's the most fun.

Now now... that's just mean.

Have you met my little sister?

Have you met my mom?

Wouldn't surprise me (seriously )

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe viruses cannot technically spread through video files regardless - at least certainly not through standard containers like .avi and .mp4.

How about she downloaded a "bad" codec pack that had the viruses and those spread when she opened the video player or something along those lines? I heard K-Lite Codec Pack is the evil on that regard...

That's what I was kind of thinking. In the past I've always walked her through getting the right players and codecs from the right places, but she's got her IT b/f now handling it for her (and look what happens...j/k) so I hadn't expected he'd let her get anywhere near the wrong stuff. False sense of security, perhaps? lol

As far as I can make out, however, the trojan only showed up right after she downloaded my AMV. Her antivirus program (AVG) failed to catch it or stop it, and the next thing she new it was adware all over the place. AVG then pinpointed the trojan as clinging tightly and exclusively to my AMV file. They can't get rid of it, either, which in my book means it's hiding out somewhere else and perhaps just used my AMV as convenient cover.

I haven't had to deal with this particular trojan, yet, so I don't know what it's habits are, but it's weird, to say the least. I'm going to try and get the name of it out of her so I can maybe get a little more info on it (and what else she's downloaded lately). *sigh*

[Garridy]

AVG is saying its your file huh? That is most interesting.

My PC is virus free!

Her b/f is trying to cover his pron trail by using this site as a scapegoat.


The other day I helped a friend of the family remove this thing from their home computer. She blamed her son's "myface and spacebook" for getting the thing infected (entirely plausible) but apparently you get the virus from certian "adult sites".

=D

Yeah... but I didn't rat him out. =P

I'd do what somebody else suggested. Ask where she gets her porn or illegal music from. I'll bet it's either one of those two. >_> Especially if she's technologically illiterate.
