It was reported that the link in there caused a virus.

First of all links do not cause viruses.......

Second of all if that many people accessed the link with no problems then the person reporting the virus needs to get a new virus scanner....it`s called a false positive...which does happen.

Third my virus scanner scans links before I access them.....

But I commend the Mods for being proactive against this sort of stuff.
All to often on other sites nothing is ever done even when a link has been reported!@!

Good job!!

I thought I had got rid of the stupid malware but now my computer won't hibernate. It pops up the 'preparing to hibernate' screen and then just dumps me back to my desktop. It hosed something up. There is a special place in hell for people that write viruses and malware.

Yikes, this is a new virus floating around. It happened to me last week.

I ended up getting rid of XP all together and moving to windows 7 on all my PCs.
 
Anyways, I'm still willing to host a torrent of the files or host them on my site.

The offer is out there, mega upload can suck my fucking nutsack.

Malwarebytes was able to clean up my system of this scourge. Make sure you download it and then run the updates before doing the system scan. I did not have to format and re-install Windows on my PC.

Yeah, I guess I was a lucky one too. Ran combo Malwarebytes & Spybot. Here was my scenerio.

Firefox (latest rev.)
Adblock Plus
eTrust Antivirus

Had No Script, but not enabled (doh!). Pop-up from MU, but nothing loaded inside the page. Computer grinded to a hault, greyed out option for Task Manager, and Security Essentials 2010 pop'd up on my screen w/ shortcut on desktop. I never clicked any ads, much less saw any.
 
wth? lol I downloaded the megaupload and got nothing, FF 3.6 and I use Anti Vir... I scanned with malwarebytes, nada.

you guys need to stop being newfags on 4chan
 
Jeeebus returns from his slumber, tired from flying to Miami this morning and sitting through meetings all day, and mildly annoyed that his 3,000th post will not be able to be in his most epic of threads.

I've had some time to reflect and I think we've all learned a lot...

1. Apparently megaupload can fuck yo shit up. Word.
2. ATOT mods do not approve.
3. Several people are disappoint.
4. ...
5. JEEEBUS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.


Hypothetically speaking, some of you may be getting a present, and if you hypothetically post back here about your epic present, well, there's nothing I can do about it.

No, I'm not gonna PM all 12,000 of you who sent me a PM asking for a PM, but the power of ATOT should take care of it for me. After all, nothing unites man like noodz.

And if we remember nothing else from this ordeal... JEEEBUS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

** No more PMs please.
 
Way to keep the dream alive Jeebus! I think you still might have an epic 3000 post on your hands. Pass it on and I'll pay it forward.
 
Whoa, so I wasn't just imagining things? I thought it was just a coincidence that my computer freaked out after downloading the pic.

AFAIK, Spybot took care of it.. Should I do anything else?
 
Please pass the linkage on!
