[dirrty]

probably a pop-up/ad on a webpage

[GirlNextDoor15]

no seriously. everything was like normal. there were no pop ons etc. i only had fb and hxf on my tabs.

[beth]

fb has ads sometimes.

It's "oh my god, no way" and you have an advert on a website or a popup.

If it wasn't the emoticon above you may have been infected with a remote administration tool.

I don't think you detected the sarcasm in Stephen's voice there.

I can't help wondering when words started having a voice.

Yes. Reinstall your OS.
Guys no need for an overreaction, these viruses are stored in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ they put it in the windows folder because you won't suspect it all you need to do is delete the folder.

Seriously, you just have a popup. Viruses these days don't draw attention to themselves they sit on your computer and form a botnet.

Potentially, yes. Some form part of a Botnet, others are log your keystrokes, and some are RATs. That's pretty much your lot.

No, anyone worth their salt sticks with a botnet, that's where the real money is. There is no "RAT" or keylogger here.

Thing is, not everybody knows this. These people may think it's more fun to control people's computers than to have them as a zombie.
