Title: I had a really bad f@cking Virus
Post by: blinkpip on Saturday, July 9, 2005, 14:56:04
Called w32.gaobot.sn

I was a right bastard to get rid off. I still not 100% sure I got rid of it yet.

I got it Thursday Afternoon somehow? And I spent all night Friday and all morning today trying to get rid off it.

I couldn't reformat my harddrive as it said there was an error when I tryed to use the recover disks.

Norton couldn't get rid off it, so I downloaded a copy of Mcfree on Limewire and it picked it out  when ran the scan on safemode.

The problems it did was tons of adverts and pissed around with my passwords on here and everything that you try logging in on.

I really hope it's gone or I am fucked.

Something is wierd here. We got it at the same time and we both used this site and thisis. It could be something with AOL, as I only get it when I sign on.
I don't know. Something is very wrong here.
I thought it was something to do with this first.

Does your AOL username begin with a B?

I tryed to reformat my harddrive but it wouldn't work. I downloaded Mcafee of limewire, as it has worked a bit better than Norton.
Still, It's really pissing me off.

Have you sorted this yet blinkpip?

Have you looked at this, if McAfee detects it but it is coming back it might be worth following the instructions in the link regarding 'removal instructions'

Yeah I tryed that first, but Norton AntiVirus couldn't detect it. So I downloaded mcafee and its detects it and deletes it. So far so good.
