I got this virus twice, both times when I clicked "discussions" It cost me $180 to get rid of it and I will be happy to forward you the bill. You owe me $180 as far as I'm concerned.

My350 owes you nothing, it's one of the perks you get from owning a computer, and getting on a site you don't contribute to, but use for your own advantage

I got infected 2 weeks ago. My friend finally fixed it. It was infected by trojan virus. My cpu wouldnt let me do anything and some fake anti-spyware kept popping up.
I bet they'll find it now.....

I did not get the virus from this site, but I did get it in the past, multiple times actually. Every time it was a different named .exe file, and I had to manually remove a lot of registry files, and fix my hosts file. This all had to be done in safe mode with networking.
I think MDHRZ is on to something about doubleclick.net. I use Firefox with adblockplus, and I manually added doubleclick.net to the blocked list... and I never got the virus from this site... I browse at work on and off all day and never had an issue when everyone was reporting it..

When I have come to the home page, there is a message that looks like its from the ADMIN but the first time I saw it, read that it had a link to remove viruses, but it screwed up my firefox. Then another time it showed up and then disappeared within 2 seconds of loading the homepage.

I got the virus about a week ago. idr what thread it was from because i didnt know where i got it from at first. I am almost 100% sure its from the ads. What i think the ib techs should do is remove all ads for a week and see if anyone gets the virus. If no one gets it then we know its from the ads.
