Which one of you COWARDs are behind the CWS/SpySherrif DRM virus
 

I downloaded a vid from Shareaza that immediately infected my system upon play. It installed TONS of spyware and installed a trial version of spy sherrif and wont clean my system unless I buy.

So which one of you cowards are behind this?

I'd like to meet you and cut your throat wide open.

Except for .mov files that popup banners/popup pages, much of the p2p promo stuff out there contain spyware/toolbar crap. IST is very prevalent. Typical DRM p2p setup. 1) D/L the wmv 2) load it to play 3) it requests license 4) you see a dialogue box asking you to visit a site or gives you a flash/page that urges you to INSTALL (because IE now prompts you re active x).

Whatever it is it's very very cowardly of them. I was suffering computer problems liek you wouldn't believe this past couple weeks. FInally got that alls traightened out and here I am back tot eh drawing board scanning/removing and manually editing my registry,

I feel your pain

Its infuriating

You have to make some money off leechers don't you?

Try microsoft antispyware. Very effective! Even gets rid of the uber-spyware Aurora.

leechers? People share files. That's not leeching. People put trailers up with ads and watermarks. That's not leeching.

SO I'm a leech because I use shareaza?

Fuck you.

Yeah I'll prolly check it out Gene. So far SPybot seems to do a good job except it left a few straglers behind that are of no threat anymore.

so your saying what you downloaded was 100% legit then right ? nothing thats copywrited ?

if so i feel your pain but if you were downloading the newest simpsons or whatever you got nothing to bitch about.

Yes.... Of course.

Agreed and totally free. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It's free if you have a non "leeched" version of Windows.

This conversation is just getting stupid. :helpme

who knows if it was copyrighted or not. It was titled soemthing along the lines of nice teen ass or some shit.

Even if it is copyrighted, nobody has the right to infect my system.

And odds are the original copyright owner probably has no idea that their content is being used to infect systems with this bullshit. So who wins? IMHO no one. The surfer gets fucked, the content owner gets fucked, i guess the only winner is the fucktard getting his 10 cents per install screwing everyone else over.

Oh that and the scumware owners who really dont seem to give a shit how their bullshit is distributed as long as they get a big install base. Which btw they use to fuck over other wm's by replacing aff ID's with their own.

Cluster fuck if you ask me. :(

BINGO BINGO, EXACTLY.

Hit it right on the head on that one. Scrubware sucks.

you fucking deserve it... buy a member access moron

1) pay up
2) shut the fuck up
3) if it was you making money you wouldn't be complaining

um ok thats fucked up

Yep they do. A couple of times I had active x installed on my PC and it replaced wm ids from all mayor sponsors

then stop stealing shit!

I'd recommend installing Webroot's Spy Sweeper software.

You can do a Free Online Scan on this link:

You can get the trial software on this link:

It's the only software I've found that nailed every adware program that got installed on my son's pc. He had 5 that seemed indestructible until I put Spy Sweeper on them.

It also has a built in shield that stops browser hijacking, prevents modifications of your hosts file, blocking of unauthorized programs into your root mem, stops entry of alt data streams, blocks messenger insertions, protects the startup registry, and has over 108,203 fingerprint defs of all the bad guys out there.

:thumbsup

it's kind of funny that everyone gets so upset about stealing video content-repurposing and redistributing it,"god how could you!?" but for some reason music is ok to steal.

lesson learned here: protect your content, pay for your content and you will never have to deal with this kind of stuff. :2 cents:

Hell no I wouldn't complain but I'd sure be in hiding because there would be a LOT of people wanting to fuck me up. I don't like having to look over my shoulder like that...

Just the other day, I daydreamed about putting a baseball bat to the head of the owner of goodnightsex.com tgp that installed bullshit spyware on their gallery submit page.

Spyware is a PUSSY way of making money online. It's the pussiest way that I know of.

Spysherrif. Haha have fun. Took me about 6 hours to get rid of it. Its the worst spyware i ever had. There isnt just 1 program that can simply delete it. You need to print out a manual and download like 5 programs and do it step by step including safe mode, rebooting and other crap.

I got the same type of shit from a video clip in a FHG... WMP said I needed a codec, ok... that is when it all happened. And still yet I wake up to close 50 popup windows. Some promoting reputable sponsors. I will be posting the link codes associated with the infection. I doubt this "reputable" sponsor will do anything about these assholes infecting our systems.

I'm actually proud of the person who did that . Let's fuckup all p2p users so they start buying the real shit.
