Recent virus things or whatever they are

Restart computer pressing F8 to boot into safe mode with the connection thing.
Untick the LAN/Proxy bit in IE.
Open up Malwarebytes and do full scan.
Sit and wait thinking how fit the computer looks in safe mode compared to W7.

think i got it from google. read some thing about some hijacking which sounds more plausable than it being hxf, but it was weird how quite a few got it.

&neversoft, theres loads of places that makes it happen, it wouldn't be just here even if someone may have got it from here.

Obviously, all I am saying is that it most definitely isn't from Habbox.

Just an update on this virus thing:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20012806-245.html

Microsoft will issue 14 security bulletins on Tuesday to plug 34 holes, including eight that are critical, in Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, SQL and Silverlight, the company said on Thursday.

"This will be the most bulletins we have ever released in a month; we have released 13 bulletins on a couple of occasions," Angela Gunn, security response communications manager at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post. "However, in total CVE [common vulnerabilities and exposures] count, this release ties with June 2010, so there's no new record there."

Affected software includes: Windows 7; Windows XP; Vista; Windows Server 2003 and 2008; Windows Server 2008 release 2; IE 6, 7 and 8; Office XP Service Pack 3; Office 2003 Service Pack 3; 2007 Microsoft Office System Service Pack 2; Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac; Office Word Viewer; Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint; 2007 File Formats Service Pack 2; Microsoft Works 9; and Silverlight 2 and 3.

The IE, Office, and Silverlight updates fix an increasingly used type of flaw "where attackers and malware go through the installed applications rather than through the core operating system," said Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek.

"Windows XP SP2 users do not have any patches supplied to them, even though the five critical vulnerabilities for XP SP3 most likely apply to their discontinued version of the OS as well," he said. "Windows XP SP2 users should upgrade to SP3 as quickly as possible."

Earlier this week, Microsoft released an emergency patch for a critical Windows vulnerability that was being exploited by a fast-spreading virus and other malware. The so-called "shortcut" vulnerability could be used by attackers to take control of a computer.

Sounds familiar eh? Robbie already mentioned this, but it seems this was deffo the case, was nothing to do with HabboxForum, but yknow where else to circulate a virus other than a forum where people regularly visit. Sooo I guess to sort it out, just use Windows Updates and make sure u install all updates.
