Author Topic: My other comp got a virus :(  (Read 3994 times)

This virus is freakin' horrible. It was a thing called "Windows Police Pro." It said, basically, that everything on my computer, including my OS, was a virus and had to be deleted. I couldn't close it because it would open itself up again in 10 seconds.

It said that the uninstall for itself in my all programs was a virus, too. So, I shut off my computer. I turn it back on, and lo and behold, I get a thing that looks like the BSOD (blue screen of Death), except the text says that an application is making starting Windows unsafe andtto shut off my comp and contact Windows Support.

The last thing I was doing was browsing BL forums, so my mom thinks that BL forums caused the virus.

I forgot to mention that It said it wanted me to buy it for 40 bucks. It then would have deleted my OS if I bought it, which I didn't. My mom is going to take the tower to her comp guy, where (hopefully) he'll fix it. Also, McAfee didn't catch it. Suprise.

tl;dr my comp got a really bad virus that my antivirus didn't catch and is now alternate BSOD'ing me.


Phew!



Safe mode>anti-virus>clean.

Makes you wonder why people make viruses like these.

Question is, where DID it come from?

Question is, where DID it come from?

Good question.

Was on armorgames.com too before virus hit.

Once I got a virus that, when my computer started up, before even going to the login screen, it scanned allll of my browsing history and said the website was a virus.
I had to wait a looong time before running my virus protection program ;D

Turn on your popup blocker.

A lot of ads have virus links in them. Get Firefox and NoScript + AdBlock plus / other browser equivalents.

This virus is freakin' horrible. It was a thing called "Windows Police Pro."

I had it, it's not hard to get rid of. I deleted it simply by selecting, deleting and emptying the recycling bin.

whenever i got the stuff, it flooded me with other viruses. I couldn't run .exe files after that.

I've tried every safe mode, and ran with last good configuration.

None worked, still got alt BSOD.

So, I cant even log in to my computer to delete it :(

At least it was my non-BL computer.

People who are stupid enough to get viruses deserve them :/
But, It could have not been your fault though. How did you get this virus?

Why were you on armorgames.com in the first place?
