carolyn Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) Does anyone know of a virus related to the site "allaboutsearching.com"? (wouldnt recommend searching for the site, cause gwad only knows what will happen). Edited May 25, 2004 by carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badvoodoo Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I know of some really nasty adware/spyware related to it. Defining it as a virus is borderline, but it's aggravating shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 i f'ing hate that shit!!! personally i think it's worse than a virus. just so you know, one thing that might help avoid getting it in the future: stop perusing porn sites! (this seems to be a problem when letting other people use your computer while you're not around! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Get a firewall. Anyone spending time on the net without a firewall is asking for trouble these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 If you are talking about the bug that redirects your google searches to something called "cool web search" or something similar, you need to get a little program called "CWShredder" and it will take care of it. Worked for me and worked for MisterE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
