i was trying to save youtube videos ( my plugin stoped
working on firefox) weird why that just happened it was
working fine..anyway...

so i did a search on google for a new type o plugin

i found this site

http://www.youtubecatcher.com/

must have many hits from a fair few thousand people each
week

so i download the file and my pcguard anti virus said:

" warning youve got a nasty virus thingy" ( haha kinda like
that)

i try and get rid of the bitch , i had a message from my
anti virus

* This file is infected with "W32/new-malware!Maximus"
virus and was not disinfected. Since this file is used for
storing emails, it was not deleted

so anyways i spend a while deleting loads a shit and i think
i solved it!!

so what am i sposed to do ? just let everyone get ill fro
this virus?

is there a doctor in the house?? anyone wanna try and see if
they can kill the twats that allow this to happen?

any advice would be cool.

freqy x

kissyoutube.com works well. Just add "kiss" in front of
youtube.com for any youtube page.

Tell symantec or someone like that, including detailed
instructions on how to replicate the virus message that
popped up, as well as any symptoms of the virus you suffered
on your PC. I discovered a virus (well, was the first to get
it reported at least) a couple of years back. You don't get
anything for it, but your antivirus provider will likely
give you a pre-release version of the fix/you won't have to
wait till the next automatic update to get it.

i found
16.865
viruses

:)

some vir program couldnt delete them
and put them on my other boot-harddisk, well half of em
so i deleted these files manually resulting in total sytem
failure
reinstalled windows 2k on the broken harddisk
transferred 100 gigs from my second harddisk to a buddies
portable, and put them back on my new xp system

ok, heres the funny thing: i got rid of all viruses,
but my buddy has got half of my 16.865 now :D

have all been 1k filesize offsprings of the same worm btw

Try either Kaspersky or Nod32, both good antivirus programs.
They can usually clean some shit. But if you have a fruit
fucker virus, then your fruit's fucked and there ain't
nothing you can do.
