**** EVERYONE READ **** DSF malware

[faust.dtc]

Ive used a shit load of different things to scan my machine and cant find any virus' anymore but if i use Google it still redirects the results to other search engines such as Ask. Strange...

check your hosts file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc and open it in notepad. check for any redirects at the bottom

There wasnt anything in that folder but a single IP address...?

hey phigure, im basically having the opposite problem from the original virus you posted about and cannot get onto the internet from my original user account. i also tried dragging the task.mgr file to the desktop but got a pop-up stating i don't have authorisation. i tried on both the guest and main account. Do you have any idea of what to do?

Does your connection appear at all? Try wired.... also, open internet explorer, go to tools, internet options, connections, lan settings, and make sure it hasnt put a proxy on. (boxes should all be unchecked).

No idea if that's the advice you need.... but it could be worth a go.

i'll have to give that a try mate, everthing else has appeared to have magically pissed off in terms of virus pop-ups etc. thanks again for the advice DRTY

ugh sorry to hear that prism. can't be any more help but hope you get it sorted

I logged on here when it all started and got the "do you want to continue anyway" bull, saying it was a scary website etc. I tried my luck and did.

don't want to come across as a dick but that wasn't very clever. half the battle in keeping your computer safe from viruses etc is common sense rather than having the latest anti virus software or firewalls etc. i agree with xarcane that it's the responsibility of the forum to do it's best to keep you all safe where possible but users need to be vigilant here and everywhere else on the internet to try and avoid problems because ultimately it's you that's going to have to go through all the ballache of fixing problems and not us

Very glad the dancing pigs analogy was brought up because for me I had to check to see if I can a post on a track I put in the dubs section. I just had to!! ( Got nothing, but hit double digits on the amount of views. GET IN)

I still use an adblocker on my mac. And if you have an anti-virus installed the Mac/PC thing is redundant. A lot of website get caught out; we just have admins who love us enough to apologize and sort it out nice and quickly.

Guess what. It's back!

Can you not get rid of that bloody ad banner that no-one ever clicks on anyway?

[badger]

is it really?

[DRTY]

[badger]

i'm sure dubway's already aware of it but will make sure

Just having to backup all data before zapping my harddride and reinstalling windows....did a spyware scan first and guess what...

173 infections

[faust.dtc]

I have 3 AVs to scan my machine and can find nothing.

I know I still have malware as Google is still redirecting my searches to random sites.

my av just blocked an attack :/

[danoldboy]

Google marking the site as malware again, had to override to get in.

[faust.dtc]

Getting sql errors and being warned this site is a threat again. Not good...
