Computer Virus

Quick note guys/members.

Computer got a virus on Thursday, had it removed & today it was back.

Offending site seems to be Imageshack which I was on both times this has happened.

Ran computer in safe mode then set Malwarebytes off to find the bugger. Found the culprits & now back online again.

Once that was done you`ll need to go into your LAN settings to reset because it sets your computer up to hijack your browser to take you to a site to "purchase" a full version of the program which the virus is masking as.

Program is : antivir solutions pro

Website/shop is : antispygeek

Had a similar instance today when I was looking for a picture of Serge Nubret to go in his RIP thread.

AVG picked up & blocked something but still need to run Malwarebytes etc to be 100% sure.
