Title: A warning...
Post by: SKBT on December 20, 2011, 12:11:05 AM
Do not go to Explosm (Dot) net  I was browsing around on it minding my own business when suddenly a java script activated and downloaded "win 7 antivirus 2012". This is not a real anti virus program. It will completely trash your computer. It's really nasty

Here's a video that saved my computer (and butt)

I just got done fixing my computer at 1am.

That fake antivirus virus is annoying. Fortunately, Malwarebytes took care of it for me last year, just like it took care of that ransomware this year.

Computer viruses...there's just something about them that makes me want to track down the kinds of people who program and release them with such intent, and mash them to a bloody pulp with a blunt instrument until they stop moving.

Calm down, Doctor.

Seriously, what makes them worse than common thugs? Nothing, in my opinion.

Most people make viruses usually make them because they're incredibly easy to make. A kid that made a virus in 1999 could be the CEO of an anti-virus company today.
