Attacked by virus on huddle

[Ja Rhule]

So it happened to me for the 4th time... A pop window pops up telling me my pc is inficted with virus and it promts me to download something from 3rd party website which infact is a virus. I tho maybe something was wrong with my laptop... Then it happened on my brand new pc while surfing huddle and now it happened on my pc at work.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I mean how long since you have been going on the internet? Since its inception?

Never Download something you didnt initially want to download in the first place on the interwebz.

Oh, did not download it... Huddle is the only website I go to on my work pc. Everything else is blocked 0_0

k just making sure u didnt. Google chrome usually does that from time to time as a warning.

It didn't come from the huddle, unless you clicked a link someone else posted. I forget the exact name of that virus, but if you ever get a prompt with a yes and no question box, do NOT click no. CLick the red x at the top right of the browser. If it pops up again, you are likely already infected. Another option is just hard power off the laptop and not click anything. That virus cannot really be removed, so good luck. That thing could have been on there days ago, laid dormant, then popped up a few days later. One way to tell if you are definately infected is go to google and search for virus removal software. If when you click one of the links to look on how to remove the virus, IE will display a page that says something like "this page cannot be displayed".

Yes, that's happened to me a couple of times. IIRC there was a pic involved.

I didn't download it. I 'x'ed out. Its a freaky thing though, it appears as if you are downloading something.

Next time, just shut down your comp. Actually, if clicking the red X in the top right didn't work, you were likely already infected from a previous browsing session. Those interweb pron pics can be a bitch

Does it start running a scan?

No pron on the huddle!!! ;)

It appears as if it is running a scan. Lots of flashing red borders on the window.
