I stayed at my sister's house from Friday afternoon till this Sunday morning.

During that time, the only time I went on the computer was to lurk a bit in the forums.

Yesterday afternoon we realized the computer had a virus, and it was tracked back to this site. Smiley: motz

So, now I'm in trouble and there's a keylogger in my sister's computer.

She had to cancel her banking account, because before she noticed the virus was there, she logged into her bank account online.

Be weary fellow posters, I'm not positive, but I think there's a virus about!

Smiley: um

Not sure.

My brother ran some scans and told me "It says it came from that chatroom forum thingy you post on."

Please give us more information about it. What type of virus? How did it appear? Normally when we have an infected ad appear on the site, we get multitudes of complaints and can track it quickly. With a single complaint and no other information, we can only assume it came from somewhere else. Naturally if we have an ad that installs something, we want to know about it so that we can track it down and get rid of it.


From Alla's post that got eaten when I moved the thread, sorry boss!

I really don't know that much about it. A friend of our's is going to look at the computer later and see what he can do about it. After he messes with it a bit I'll ask him and let you know.

On a side note, if you publicize your email address you get tons of spam mail.

Well, it wasn't my computer. I'm home now and the computer in question is at my sisters house, 30 minutes away.

Who knows what that computer-fixing guy they hired is deleting.

They still haven't told me anything though, they're still all worked up about having to re-open their banking account now, which is a 30-something dollar fee. Smiley: glare

Whatever, apparently the virus is out for the most part now.

Just goes to show that Norton Anti-virus sux. Badly.

Well that's the most obvious, most damning evidence I've ever seen. How could anyone possibly doubt such concrete evidence?

What stubs is trying to say by this is that he would like to have relations with you.
