@Oli Humm Yeah i think i would
And i dont wanna download anything like malware and stuff cause what if that infects my computer XD

i had norton on and i didn't get a flag or anything. google malwarebytes and do a scan with that

and i haven't clicked an msn link. i'm not ******ed.

@oli: i agree, i'm not accusing hxf in anyway or anything. but i haven't been on facebook or any dodgy sites or anything like that. i posted my history in the staff thread. i'm happy to provide further history if needs be.
and really, do i seem the kind of person who sits there downloading dodgy looking files and clicking links to viruses.. ha.

No I quite agree with you bethie and I'm not saying you're accusing HxF I was the first this morning to think it could be a problem with HxF and it could still be a problem somewhere on HxF we aren't ruling it out I just think it'd have affected more users.

Jamesy thinks it's a clickjacking attack, which basically involves you clicking a familiar link but it not going where it usually does

Has anyone ran any Java (not Javascript) applications recently? Could have been a Java drive-by.

Has anyone allowed Internet Explorer to run an addon that is not Flash/WMP/Trusted?

e.g


Looks like that

EDIT: @Oli - I said that init, Noscript stops them everyone!!!

malwarebytes isn't malware it's a scanner that tells you if you have any.
it pretty much cured my notebook ha.

i originally thought it could be this clickjacking thing, i'm not too wised up on that if truth be told. but i don't remember clicking any links. i just use my chrome bookmarks.

I still don't wanna download stuff on to my computer until the virus goes

Use Firefox and get NoScript.

ha well thats yr choice, but malwarebytes is 100% and norton is shocking.

edit: is there no add-on's for chrome? can't stand ff.

Itll help keep you protected FROM the virus. Viruses will always be here so you're always at risk

[Neversoft]

it's stupidly suspicious that about 6 members of the forum have now come down with it and the only possible thing we have in common is hxf.

I got the virus without going on Habbox.

Should You scan your computer to check f you have it or not ? Cause atm i'm using norton do you think it would find the virus if i did a check ?

You'll know if you have the virus.

As Publicised, Malwarebytes is a scanner. It's completely safe and worth having even if you don't currently have a virus.

Lol, a virus won't go away by itself.
