I'm back.... again...
 

I had my netbook up and running well... and then I got ANOTHER frickin' virus.

It happened shortly after Lincpimp rick-rolled me with a gay porn clip. My AV flashed warnings while it played, but my pc still worked, I thought I was safe. Immediately after the next power-on I was virused up. Another one of those that attack your browser and make you buy their AV ware to clean it.

That makes over a dozen viruses over 4 computers in the last 4 months for me. All the same type, a "buy my AV ware" attack.

Can a router get a virus? I was even told by one chick to replace my router.

So I am back. With a new modem, a new router and a used apple powerbook G4. It's a 17 inch with 1g of ram and 60g hd. 1.6ghz processor. I'm not used to this mac OS but I'll figure it out.:na:

A router can't get a virus but an unused firewall can let them in. What antivirus are you using and do you use a spyware removal tool?

No AV or removal now. I just got this mac. Used. I cant set up the router without the apple's password, and I don't have it.

well if you have an Mac now I wouldnt worry about getting a virus. Not saying it wont happen, but it is very unlikely

I think he can get a virus on anything and everything with the way he uses his equipment...

Spywares are worst than viruses in my opinion... Hopefully you get that stuff cleaned out, I don't have a MAC so I'm not sure what programs are available...

I also have linux being installed on my netbook this time around.

what are you doing to get that many viruses???


:surprised:

I wish I knew. I was being ridiculously safe. I've spent tons of time and money getting viruses cleaned and now a new router and computer!!

That's what they all say until they get 4 viruses in less than 4 months.

Do you have a firewall set up?
Sounds like all your computers needs a thorough cleaning... both physically and through software. :whistle:

Does norton antivirus work on the clap?

Try this. You'll never have to worry about viruses ever again. But be careful not to break it, or you computer will get fat, and 9 months later you'll have a PDA waking you up at 3AM because it's hungry.

^^:rofl:

i swear, i was safe:yes:

hahhahaha.. That's awesome..!!

IEEWW! How does one get so many viruses in such a short time I mean it's not like ...... ooh hang on, nevermind. Hey, that makes me think, LINC + HIPPIE how come you don't suffer these ailments?


It must be really irritating Harold. Most of my issues I believe arise from being computer illiterate, then I hear stories like yours :oh:

Simpleman that's classic:rofl::great:

Well, I have a feeling Harold is downloading some seriously questionable stuff. Like dude on dude and dude on goat stuff. Me, I just stick to tiny car forums (that is what my wife calls rc cars) and Hippie likes the real thing, so he just walks the streets (or rides his pink bike) and searches for suitable "candidates"...

Riot
 

You guys are a riot. I had to read some of that to my wife so she knows what kind of degenerates I have to deal with in here. Harold I think someone is setting you up with this crap. I have not gotten a virus of any kind in over a year, and even so it is pretty rare as long as you have your PC setup right to begin with. Having a router with a built in firewall helps, but you still have to be careful what you get into and what you open. I would suspect that anything you get from James is questionable and probably more likely deseased for real. We use the Linksys 3200 wireless router and we use the built in MAC filter system, which will only allow the PC's we have registered on the system. No one else can get in, and we just do not get viruses anymore. We still have Norton AV, and it is automatically updated daily so we do not have to worry about it. So Harold whatever you are doing stop it. Get someone in who knows that the hell they are doing to help you set up good security and follow their instructions.

Our kids just started today at their new school and each of them will be issued a brand new Macbook this Friday for classwork & homework. So I guess we will have our first experiences with Apple now. Life is good.
