That damn blaster virus...
 

As you might have heard, the new blaster virus called "Sasser" is around. This has to be the third version of this damn thing. :x
I always get infected before I have the chance to read the warnings. Why are people programming that stuff? Because they want Microsoft to release better security patches? Or is it because they have no life (I suppose the latter)?
Anyone else got infected?

No, I haven't been hit by this one... yet. But I did get slammed by the original blaster virus months ago. That thing really pissed me off.

You should better get the new patch, that thing is really annoying.

Yeah I know people got to mess around make these viruses or hack into computers and ruin hardrives it is just stupid and whoever does it has no life. How does this virus start? And what are the affects?

My comp says I have a virus now, but I think it's just some kind of pop-up. Other than that, I've never had a virus on here.

I spent the weekend fighting that god damn virus.
I managed to beat it though. I think Blaster Virus now ph33rs my l33t skillz.

Yeah two of my friends (both of which are on this board btw) work at MSN...they've been having a hell of a busy day at work since that virus hit. >.< Ya know some people actualy try to blame the viruses on MSN itself? Oi.

Yeah it really was a pain in the ass. I had a Trojan finder detect it, but then I had to figure out what files it was running from, because no Virus scanner I had would delete it. I ended up deleting Several EXE file from my Windows and Windows/System32 folders and finally it worked. God bless Trial and error!

Whenever I have a virus that's noticeable when working on my computer, I just format. I don't even bother taking the time to fix it.

The virus made GK copy my sig.

On my computer it was rather easily be found. There were two files (called advserve.exe, I think) which exhausted my CPU to 100%. I deleted them, then installed the new patch.

I also had another one doing it, I can't remember the name of the .exe file though. But Yeah, adserve2.exe or whatever was the main one I had.

Nope, that was Machi :p

Your ruining it.

:cry:

Lookit that, you made me shed a single tear.

:tangel:



Man... our entire University system got hit by the sasser virus. But know the funny thing?

My system version's too old for it to get infected!!!!

:lol: Bwahahahaaaaa *hugs her Win98*

Yeah I got hit... but I was too fast for it! :evilgrin: and all it did was that shutdown stuff... Im too cool for those virus guys.

And the alert level for this thing is only medium, can you believe it.

What the hell does this thing do?

It shuts your computer down over and over. That's all.

It also exhausts your CPU to 100% through some exe-files.

Yeah that was the biggest problem I had with it.
