    Okay im just giving you guys a heads up of this virus that i just got, and its impossible to delete it, i tried everything all you can do is a system restore to another day.

    Or if anyone knows how to delete it, please tell me because it's really really annoying

    Ctrl + Alt + Delete, stop the processing of that current .exe
    and than delete it, + rep me if it works!

    That sucks, I've got a few random IMs with "HEY PICS OF ME!!! " then some link, but the link redirected to a hole diff site that seemed like a virus so I didnt click. So you clicked it? Damn man must suck.. Backup all your ---- on cds and reformat if you can't fix it :eek: Or get someone from this forum to help you.

    WOW..The 5% of Legit people of GR.. Nice.


    5+5= 10. But, if you divide the answer (10), by 2, your new answer is 5.
    +REP IF I HELPED.

    well on that away message on top, it has a link that i thought was to some pictures, but then it just downloads the virus right away and everytime you go on aim, or even if you're not on, it will automatically go away and sign on for you and give you that same picture
