if the thread is brought back, there's gonna be so much fapping it's gonna have to be moved to L&R.

That might be a good idea anyway and prevent jeebus from getting into trouble. We wouldn't want such a great guy to get into trouble.

Reported by ONE GUY, and his report was so painfully obviously not the truth. Christ... :rolleyes: I don't even think the pic should have been posted, but the thread being removed because ONE GUY was a lying snot? Really?

By one guy. Which is a lie.

Believe it, the laptop I owned it on is currently running malwarebytes because it got something nasty after hitting the link. It keeps on popping up warnings that I've got a virus (all fake, from the malware itself), it sticks things in the registry to screw with your login, and to prevent you from opening task manager.

a few guys reported that their antiviruses perked up at the link. I've never had issues with megaupload though.

BUT WHY COULDNT THE LINK JUST BE REMOVED? D:

ATOT campaign for link removal and thread reinstatement. Jeeebus will not disappoint, though he is running out of posts before what would otherwise be EPIC # 3000

I didn't get the virus. Neither did you, from thread link.

I clicked the link, soon after my firewall started going nuts because of things requesting internet access. Seems pretty likely, especially with other people mentioning issues. Something was screwy with it.

I do seem to remember that there was a pop under ad that came up after i downloaded the link that I closed down without thinking about it, possibly it was embedded in the ad?

This man speaks the truth! I got the same thing. I am also running Malwarebytes trying to get rid of 'Security Essentials' or something of the like. I can't open Task manager, nor System Restore. It is a ah heck too! After I logged off, it wouldn't let me log back in. It would start to open my profile, then log itself back off.

Go here, it's got some good info on it and it helped me get the task manager opened. There's a registry line that it edits to keep you from getting in. Also, there's a registry line that redirects something to do with the log in to one of the files that the malware installed. Apparently if you remove the file without fixing the registry entry that directs to one of the files that just got removed.
