I'm back.... again...
 

I had my netbook up and running well... and then I got ANOTHER frickin' virus.

It happened shortly after Lincpimp rick-rolled me with a gay porn clip. My AV flashed warnings while it played, but my pc still worked, I thought I was safe. Immediately after the next power-on I was virused up. Another one of those that attack your browser and make you buy their AV ware to clean it.

That makes over a dozen viruses over 4 computers in the last 4 months for me. All the same type, a "buy my AV ware" attack.

Can a router get a virus? I was even told by one chick to replace my router.

So I am back. With a new modem, a new router and a used apple powerbook G4. It's a 17 inch with 1g of ram and 60g hd. 1.6ghz processor. I'm not used to this mac OS but I'll figure it out.:na:

A router can't get a virus but an unused firewall can let them in. What antivirus are you using and do you use a spyware removal tool?

No AV or removal now. I just got this mac. Used. I cant set up the router without the apple's password, and I don't have it.

well if you have an Mac now I wouldnt worry about getting a virus. Not saying it wont happen, but it is very unlikely

I think he can get a virus on anything and everything with the way he uses his equipment...

Spywares are worst than viruses in my opinion... Hopefully you get that stuff cleaned out, I don't have a MAC so I'm not sure what programs are available...

I also have linux being installed on my netbook this time around.

what are you doing to get that many viruses???


:surprised:

I wish I knew. I was being ridiculously safe. I've spent tons of time and money getting viruses cleaned and now a new router and computer!!

That's what they all say until they get 4 viruses in less than 4 months.

Do you have a firewall set up?
Sounds like all your computers needs a thorough cleaning... both physically and through software. :whistle:

Does norton antivirus work on the clap?

Try this. You'll never have to worry about viruses ever again. But be careful not to break it, or you computer will get fat, and 9 months later you'll have a PDA waking you up at 3AM because it's hungry.

i swear, i was safe:yes:

hahhahaha.. That's awesome..!!

IEEWW! How does one get so many viruses in such a short time I mean it's not like ...... ooh hang on, nevermind. Hey, that makes me think, LINC + HIPPIE how come you don't suffer these ailments?


It must be really irritating Harold. Most of my issues I believe arise from being computer illiterate, then I hear stories like yours :oh:

Simpleman that's classic:rofl::great:
