  • whoever falls for this is a dipshat

  • @Mii2626 Unfortunately many do and that's why these rogues are so popular.

  • that virus ad got my computer yesterday but my mom told me all this stuff about viruses and junk and my uncle is also a person who created the shoulde blade replacment thing some of u should no him if u googled him or met him b4 (not saying his name n im getting off track....) n he also told me about rogue horse stuff n wat not so ya

  • @beyondme777 I haven't seen these since i installed Simple Adblock for IE and Ad Block Plus and No Script for Firefox.

  • Recently, I was actually hit by a rather nasty rouge. It was called Antivirus System Pro. It did things like prevented you from opening any app, saying they were infected, put you under a viral proxy and more. I actually had to remove it manually. It would be hidden in the Application Data folder with random characters (as a hidden folder) and the file would be (any random four characters)sysguard.exe

  • @KnightoftheColossus I use Web of Trust, an internet ad-on that will pretty much block these (provided they're rated as poor or very poor) and I love it. Now the only ones that get through are unrated ones, which I rate after I see them.

  • Next you would need to pretty much free yourself from the viral proxy, after you find and destroy the program. If you don't, it'll come back. Now, to do this you need to go to your internet options, go to connections, go to lan settings and uncheck the proxy box. Then (with your internet unplugged) you must go to your non-IE browser and clear the proxy settings. The viral port is 5555, block that port always (as a matter of fact, always check the proxy after you get any virus).

  • As soon as I knew what was happening, I turned my connection off so it couldn't download any trojan with it, rather I had norton (which I used as an firewall rather than an antivirus) to block it from going on the internet. The viral installer is op[1].exe. If you get a message about it connecting to the internet, block that and the program that follows. It'll make it easier, since it'd just be the sysguard program itself installing and it won't have a chance to download the virus.

  • It becomes Epic FAIL if one falls for its trick.

  • Fail is right, oh so right. XD
