I gotz em.
Pretty sure I got them from a flash ad on animefreak.tv (great site, aside from the e-herpasyphilitis that I managed to contract...)
I've squashed 2 already. One was bad, popping up porn windows, and then telling me to buy something to stop it. The other just told me I was infected repeatedly. Not a big deal, but I don't like the idea of having this junk on my computer! Both of them disabled the three-finger salute.
I'm running the Avast anti-virus, and I have Spybot S&D's resident scanner running at all times as well. Avast caught the viruses coming in, and Spybot alerted me to attempted registry changes (which I always deny if I didn't do something that I know affects the registry).
However, even with these two things catching the suckers, they still managed to slip in and take root.
I also can't get into Safe Mode. I'm not sure if that's related or not. It starts to load, hangs, and then restarts again. I can only start normally.
So, does anyone have any suggestions to further fortify my computer? I know I should stay off of that website, which sucks... because I love their selection.
