Is HomerDough's computer completely stuffed? and can he still b/p at the moment.
No. When I was infected, I had to quit mozilla and restart Mozilla. That's it. It went away. And yes I can B/P. Unfortunately, I know my pace went down drastically when I got 40 somthing yesterday and 14 the other day.
When that Flash movie claiming to be a FPS game preview (I think it was called "Out-something III"), I had to restart my whole system in order to shake it off. I was suspicious about opening the Flash, since it was of a low file size of 0.2kb (usually reserved for graphically decimated games, .swfs that are hosted on an off-site server, or extremely crap entries) and the file's name was "pWNAGE.swf". Almost immediately, I attempted to click out of the window as soon as I saw the Flashes .swf name, expecting a crap entry, but was struck with a script that disabled my computer for a bit. I had to restart my really shitty Toshiba laptop in order for the computer to close the file (ctrl+alt+del didn't work), and then restart the Firefox browser. I ran a virus scan using the inferior McAfee Anti-Virus, and found nothing, so in reality, nobody who opened the maliciously scripted Flash was "infected". After that experience, I realized that you have to expect anything and everything to b/p in the Flash Portal; whether it be snuff clips, maliciously scripted files, unsuitable media, or stolen Flash. I'm actually used to seeing these kinds of entries (yes, even the infamous "My trip to Chechnya" clip), but if there's one Flash entry that can stop me completely, it's the disabling script Flash, and the auto pop-up thing is just laughable...anyone who knows how to open the program manager can easily stop it. I'm now searching for a store that sells NOD32 Anti-virus, because I am sick of McAfee's really shit service, to be honest >:C .
Oh yeah, happy anniversary, EGB!!! I didn't make it the actual day of the event because of some things I had to deal with out in meatspace, but better late than never, huh :F ?
