Oi i cant's afford a pc repairman!Joyma said:Really shocking :unsure:Scarce said:
Poke your local computer expert...which is your mom I believe?
h34r: besides i already know the problem i have a virus built into my operating system and i can't delete is as it starts up when the drivers start so theres no way i can remove it when booting up, no anti virus will work also due to the virus having its own protection it seems and the only way i have a chance on getting rid of it is a full hard drive wipe that im hopefully doing tomorrow.
wish me luck gonna be a boring day :cry:

Have you tried installing the HDD in a different PC as a non-boot device and removing the virus with that PC's antivir?

Security Warning: Trojan virus on Wowhead, Thotbott & Allakhazam
There is currently a trojan virus spreading trough advertisements on Wowhead, Thottbot and Allakhazam. The advert will appear in the form of a browser highjack which grabs your front window and resizes it to fake a warning dialog.
The Wowhead team is already aware of this problem and they are trying to fix it, but it seems more difficult than intended, so they might remove advertisements completely until the issue is found.
Until then, you should consider using a different database site or add some protections to your browser (such as Noscript).

Class forum threads have been spammed by some idiot posting keyloggers. Just bumping this to say don't click them.
"Companies that assign addresses for Web sites appear to be cutting corners on security more when they assign names in certain domains than in others, according to a report to be released Wednesday by antivirus software vendor McAfee Inc. McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are .hk, .cn, and .info. Of all .hk sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of .cn sites and 11.7 percent of .info sites that way. A little more than 5 percent of the sites under the .com domain — the world's most popular — were identified as dangerous."
Has anyone used or got more info about:

Nope! Europe store!
Just the supply is limited, so we have to check frequently for the "Sold out" tag to be removed....
in which case, poke on forums also for people to order in time.

I heard you did use noscript and such, but I presume you had warcraftmovies.com on "allow", and possibly any other domains the use for ads as well.Jai said:
Going to have to rewrite, Lebuff had a good tip, using Adblocker for extra safety.
I'm curious whether this keylogger would have been denied by Chrome though, in theory it shouldn't get access to write anywhere, that's the whole idea behind sandboxing the browser.
