Very mad!!!.....
 

I got a virus in my computer......bastards.....lost everything!:feels-hot

I feel for you Tara. I just formatted my drive Monday thanks to some little fuckstick of a virus called weird32.

that sucks

BUY NORTON ANTIVIRUS!

It is worth every penny, automatically downloads new updates scans everything incoming and outgoing.

ditto

Just curious what precautions you'd taken? Norton? Firewall? What?

Yuppers:)....saves me about 30-50 times a day...

Norton rules!

The funniest shit is that while I was reading this message thread norton actually poped a small yellow window and told me that all my virus definitions were now up to date. Gotta love auto update.

you can lay your head on my bosom and everything will be ok, k?

I use McAfee's VirusScan Professional 6.0 which also has a built-in personal firewall as well....works great! :)

That sucks... All viruses I had didn't infect the files permanently. They could be cleaned every easily fortunately :thumbsup

Yeah, Norton Antivirus rocks ! In addition to that, I'd say to add a firewall too... I use Zone Alarm Pro, it has pop-ups disabled function and much more.

Just my :2 cents:

:Graucho

I use Norton's + Netscape Mail and haven't had a virus yet......

or u could be smart
and not download / open antying retarded

if you really want your data back, you could go to download.com and do a search on GetDataBack. It retrieved all my data when a virus wiped all the partitions on my hardrive.

You know what's fucked up... I had Norton on, Zone Alarm Pro on, & I have a firewall on my wireless router. How the Weird32 got into my files and started replicating I will never know. I stopped it by running an Housecall Online Virus Check.

Would be nice if it were that easy.

If you want to avoid Viruses, do not use a Microsoft email program. Really.

If you really want to avoid them, do not use a Microsoft operating system. Works like a charm.

If you really, really don't want to get viruses, don't use Office.

That covers 99.99% of viruses. Probably more.
