Geaux, if you google the name of the fake av program that is running you'll come across a link with a walkthrough that also contains a fixexe.reg file - basically alters the registry entry that is preventing you from opening any .exe files.
alternatively you can boot your pc into safemode and run malwarebytes.

I'm not blaming him for anything. I just think it's ridiculous that he did that. What if every single member here who no longer visits this site decided to erase all trace of their activity on here? How much info do you think we'd have?

Just imagine if this malware was in stealth mode collecting personal data and/or using your machine as a server to distribute more crap. Given this latest outbreak, a lot of people would have been unaware.

I swear I wasn't watching **** on my brand new netbook. 
It had to be. My netbook's internet connection, after setting up the OS, was tested using google.com and my350z.com. After a minute or so of browsing the forum (and no other site), I had caught the virus (my fault, though, since I hadn't yet set up the anti-virus on it yet). As for the laptop, I had the anti-virus deactivated temporarily since this past Sunday.

My work server is blocking certain ads and labeling them as restricted sites now. I hope this doesn't flag someone in IT to come down here and seize this PC. Every time I open an page with one of the blocked ads on it, it's like I am trying to visit a restricted site.

I'm willing to bet that a handful of members are stuck without internet right now. This thing locked me out of Firefox when it was infected.
I had to look up the removal instructions on my iPhone while doing everything by hand on the laptop. Not fun.
I think it just tried to infect me again, but AVG caught it this time. Whatever is causing it is still here.

Mods/Admins can't do anything about it. Its all in the hands of IB staff. Believe me when I say that we are complaining as well. I gotten the phishing web twice already. 3ree5ive0ero already sent a High priority ticket to the IB staff yesterday. Hopefully it should be resolved soon.

So far so good. Im on my personal laptop now that has a blocker so im safe, but so far no block notifies, so it would appear this problem is fixed....
I was afraid my work IT would deem the site as unsafe, and block it. Once blocked, it cant be unblocked, and my job would become much more boring in downtime.

Was this thing infecting everybody differently or something? The first time it blocked my Rundll32.exe in registry, but i fixed. Second time wasnt as bad, and third even less. Weird.
Thanks, though, brosef. Hope this is fixed for good!
