I seem to have been next on the list for the computer viruses/trojans that have been going around the past few days. Looks like I've caught everything before any real damage has been done. So much for getting my much-behind Project 365 photos edited & posted tonight. =/

Urgh. That sucks. :-P Which one did you pick up?

I got hit with two old ones, like from 2005. I don't even know...

this is where I pimp BitDefender, it's nailed a couple things that tried to get me and according to Malwarebytes, still clean over here!

I haven't had any issues before. Usually Trend Micro catches everything. This one just seems to be really sneaky. =/

ugh! I don't know where these are coming from but I got one too! I'm not convinced I've fixed it totally which makes me :(

what do you use for removal?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

I started with MalwareBytes and then downloaded a few things recommended to work with the Trojan I got. It looks all clean now, but I still shut down my computer while I'm at work and I'll scan again when I get home later. =(

OMG you guys ME TOO. Wtf, today?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Were you able to get rid of it? I think I'm good now, but I shut everything down while I'm at work and I'll rescan when I get home later.

I thought so, but the moment after I scanned I got another fucking popup. Maybe? I ran adaware, but I might have to install something else if it comes back.

You'll probably need something more hardcore than AdAware. Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) is a good start.

GRRR.

my last scan says my laptop is clean! Doing one more now to make sure. Yay!
