WTF

[Dangerous55]

I hate my computer. All of a sudden it starts to work really slow, Day of Defeat is going slow, and the McAfee thing no longer comes up when you start the computer up.

The worst, is when I went to check the Email, the Outlook Express MS Email you have. 92 messages.


All of them are like this:


A message (from <[email protected]>) was received at 15 Jul 2003 20:06:04 +0000.

The following addresses had delivery problems:

<[email protected]>

WTF, I am thinking I have a virus, and its using my email to send crap out.

Looks like a worm virus to me. If you can get your internet to run in safe mode, shut down and start up in safe mode. Then update your anti virus and run it. You may have to go back to regular windows to get it to run properly. Hopefully it'll take care of it for you.

nothin is as fulfilling as a good ol reformat....well cept maybe a new computer....

[Dangerous55]

Yea worm virus is what I though, kept getting a message about Virtual Bouncer and that I have a parasite. Didnt do anything though. I got it to run in Safe Mode, tried to do a System Restore but didnt work. I will try updating McAfee.


Also, it doesnt work all the time when I try to restart the computer.





edit- I think I have to pay to update it...

Let us know what you find out - I'm curious.

[ABDUR101]

haha, I got an email from you on my yahoo account, followed by emails from four other people, one of which used to post here.

I saw their file size and weird subject titles and just deleted them. Anything weighing in at 100+ kbs without a file attachment gets deleted without a thought.

[Dangerous55]

Seriously, man I have got to fix this.

[Dangerous55]

I got the Klez.h@MM virus. Now I just gotta kill it.


Anyone who makes this should die.

Try going here:

http://www.trendmicro.com
http://www.antivirus.com

They should both take you to the same place. They have a free online virus and worm scanning and cleaning tool, and a ton of trojan fixes and stuff.

[Dangerous55]

Thanks, I will try it. I got something called the Stinger by McAfee, thought it was working it killed some of them, but alot it says cant be fixed.

[Dangerous55]

Holy lord, also seems my Harddrive is being filled with crap. No way in hell did I use 20 bigs already when it just got it all deleted a couple months ago. .... What the hell is with that?

[Delsaber]

I just had that virus. Norton destroyed it quickly. My McAfee didn't even detect it...

[Ghost007]

The Virtual Bouncer eh, I HATE THAT THING, so stupid, it makes u think u wanna click yes, then it makes u think u wanna click no with the lil alerts, and it had ruined a new computer of mine, took a while to get off, just gotta find an uninstaller, i hate pop ups, thats where the thing started!!!

I bet 80% of people with viruses don't even know they do.
