Well this evening, I had something suddenly wipe out directories of data in my C:\Program Files directory, it might be a trojan, but I always thought I was prepared for any attack. At worse, I almost screwed up my computer because I can't deal with crashes. Sigh, rebuilding C: - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 1:57am

No idea if I have the same virus , yes I've had problems in the last 24 hours . I've dumped a lot of data and did a scan over every program and file, nothings come forward .
I've increased my security , but like most times I fear it's to late . - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 4:55am

Heh...

Actually it wiped out most of the data in C:\Program Files, and I saw it do this, thing is I suddenly got pissed off and almost broke the bone right underneath my wrist (hitting the keyboard). Now I need to reformat C:\ and re-install Win2000 to stabilize the OS. Sigh, what a hassle. - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 12:09pm

Ya, I suspect that my issues with Trojans are due to my latex allergy. There is a plastic one out there by Durex called Avanti. A little pricier but it sure beats the painful alternative:) Maybe your computer developed a latex allergy too? - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 12:29pm

Remember to download another Ad-Aware type application and scan with that as well as Ad-Aware. I heard about this on D0tt0'z Cafe so I tried it out, and wow it worked. - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 11:11pm

Best antivirus I know of... Buy a Mac... 99% of viruses out there are designed for PC and don't work on macs. - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 11:18pm

At the moment, this is true. One day, the Mac will be just as virus/trojan ridden. I mean if they can get OS-X to work on a PC that means the Mac's are a cheap version of the PC. Actually, I blame Windows, I should be running Linux. - Wed, 7 Dec 2005 12:28pm

I am with you, Nicola.

My Mac has been somewhat of an impenetrable forcefield thus far.

I like it that way.

Still, you pay too much for the Mac, although you can run OSX on the PC. I mean jeez, no-one's mentioned Linux. - Sat, 10 Dec 2005 11:05am
