I think I got a virus...
« on: February 25, 2004, 01:12:54 AM »
Hmmm, I went to the interface to Usenet groups in Google and couldn't post. I didn't use it for a while and a message appeared saying that there were too many posts from my address, try again in a few hours (that's a meansure to limit SPAM and the like...). Since it wasn't me and I'm the only one using this computer in that place I think some jerk here in my home managed to get a virus... I never had problems cause I never open unknown attachments. I think I even know what it was, some kid thought he was being smart in getting a crack to a certain PC software (PowerDVD). The worst thing is that I got very important stuff on the disk that I can't lose, and eventhough it's backed up, you never know what the virus is gonna do when I do another backup of a more recent version...
Now I have to uninstall Win98SE and install it again (I dont trus virus checkers much... with a ll the stuff I got to do now ... I think I'm gonna kill someonwe instead:-x

"And you can`t take out the HD and plug it into another PC, with an upto date virus checker?"

I can, more boring time lost but I guess with the time I lose on forums I shouldn't be complaining:-)...

"Anyway good luck..."

Thanks

I want to thank all for the replies. I don't trust virus checkers completely but well, I'm doing an online scan now...
