I'm using an imac and haven't experienced anything like that

It was that Omega virus.

This must be the malware attacks my antivirus software keeps blocking...Not sure what it is, but I've been getting the same notification every other day on average when I log onto CP. My guess is it has something to do with antifreeze and or AIDS trees

That's weird. I had one over noon, when i wasn't even here. Said the risk type was "Joker".

Never heard of that before, and ironically after i posted in this thread that i've had 0 problems with chrome since i started using, i got one when i wasn't even here. It was blocked and did no damage though.

Weird.

I'm checking from my phone where i am safe from the chiefsplanet compuaids virus that took my machine down yesterday. Being looked at this afternoon.

There's this neat little disk cleanup tool called CCleaner that does a good job of cleaning after that

I've been getting the warning asking whether to block unsafe attachments from java. I would urge everyone to say yes to block them here. I got impatient and clicked no and got a virus on my computer that I had to put a previous load on my computer to rid myself of, one of those programs that acts like its your security system. I got it when I clicked on a rant from a Browns fan out in front of their stadium. Not sure which thread it was on.

BTW, Avast didn't even pick up on my virus.

I have Symantec on my laptop and at least once a day while i am browsing this site i get a pop up saying traffic has been blocked from "insert IP address"...never really thought anything of it until i saw this thread..Chiefsplanet has been HACKED!

Vista Internet Security 2012

Not sure what type of virus. I referred to the anti-virus thread stickied in the Media Center and got help.

why do you have a cow now?

yeah, I liked the hot chick better.....

We have Windows 7 and Avira at work. I get the occasional pop-up, but no problems here.

On my laptop at home, I so want to get rid of Vista. If I'm gonna upgrade, I might as well just go ahead and update my laptop for a little more. All of this, however, comes after new tires and maintenance on my car.

I thought it was cute. And it's going to be motivational.

cows are funny. moo.
