Ever got a virus on your computer?

[Paige.]

I've always been quite careful but this person I didn't even know seemed normal (they always do don't they) had a normal conversation with me and went look what my haters made about me it's awful and gave a link and naturally I clicked it.. and stupidly I clicked run when the java thing popped up:/
Yeah so it downloaded a keylogger onto my computer and he managed to get into everything LMAO not funny at the time though..
But yeah it had to be reformatted completely and I lost all my personal things and irreplaceable photographs.
Not fun

Moral of the story: DO NOT CLICK UNFAMILIAR LINKS

Not for a long time.

Last one was around a week ago.

Bad Windows 7 64 bit torrent, bad.

Not for ages now!! It's so easy not to get one.

Not that I know of, although quite a few of us probably have viruses without realising nowadays considering they use rootkits and tend not to shout about it any-more.

i don't actually know if i've had one before or not. i'm certain there was one on my old computer because that just stopped working, but we never got it fixed and ended up throwing it away. since then i've had my own computer and laptop which i tend to keep well protected from viruses and other things. i usually scan those at least once every week.

[:odey:]

When I get viruses, I do it good and proper.

And I mean, not just one virus, like a 1000 in one go..

I seem quite good at that...

It's not happened recently though, thank god... (Touch Wood.)

... all those items would have been salvageable.

only the once back in 2010 @xxMATTGxx; will remember the occasion fondly.

went to change my time/date and the whole thing went into lockdown, no idea how i got it. though we presume it was through another habboxlive DJ whose computer completely died on the same day haha.

2 of my pc had to be reformmated because of a dating site i accidently clicked on.

​WOOPS.
