Scariest Sudden Viral Attack

[Legacy of Elecrusher]

Go grab Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, that'll take care of it guaranteed.

I support this.

Get Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spyware Doctor, and rkill and Task Manager Fix. rkill kills off malicious processes (if the virus closes it just run it again, it will work eventually) and Task Manager Fix reenables Task Manager, so long as you ran rkill beforehand.

I've got Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and it located and removed two malicious .exe files. Thanks, fruckert!

"Charas hack thing"? What did I miss?

Nasty stuff happened. Started on the 23rd of December, I believe. Things seemed to go back to normal for Xmas, but it was right back to square one the next day. A bunch of us couldn't do much of anything. Some people were able to post, others had to find work-arounds. Some were totally locked out. Login and logout stuff was frucked up pretty badly, too.

I had no problem getting into the site at all or posting, but I do believe I had the most severe problem when it came to adobe reader.

[Darkfox]

I had no problem posting either and I was pretty well protected.

I couldn't even log on, it kept throwing me off with the massive memory allocation error.

Viruses are terrifying. Just the thought of some complete cun... mean person... making something
which specifically infects and spreads across files you own and corrupts them, sometimes for no
benefit of their own, sickens me.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Viruses; the semen of the internet. Except you realize you got screwed when you see it.

[Grandy]

But it was an actual hack? By whom?

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Nobody knows...

The answer to "Why?"
Usually to prove they can.
Just like quite a bit of hacks.
When my stepdad was younger (he's around 30), he would hack into banks and the school just to send off of a security alarm.

No offense, but your stepdad was a prick.

cun... mean person...

I think the first one made more sense.

[Archem]

Cunning person, of course.
