Looks like TLC has picked up a nasty infection
When I looged on my anti spyware and firewall hit warnings on my screen,after running anti spyware program 22 problems were indentified


Might want to look into it

Sure it wasn't the pr0n site you were on minutes earlier... ?

Same thing has happened to me in the past, but in all seriousness the admin and mods could care less about the TLC site... they cannot even get this one working effectively.

Chief, the most stable genius,, if your new TLC ads have given my computer aidz i will be mighty cross with you

 

[tcwaters]

I got a really nasty winsecurity virus/malware from TLC (I think) a week or so ago, haven't been back since.

 

[RoosterLad]

Good to see Chief, the most stable genius, is only interested in the cash rather than the health and safety of our computers.

 

[Beerfish]

Gee. I hope it's not terminal.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Yeah got this as well. Enjoyable.

I got it too; some AntiVirus Pro bullshit pop up?

Screwed up my internets for a while, till I figured out how to get rid of it.

PC Security 2009!

Kingy - how do you get rid of it, it's on my Dad's work laptop as well - got it there first, then decided to test it on the virus-riddled, malware-r*ped home PC, and it's there too.

Dad's tech guys at work might be able to fix it but if you know an easy way to get it off that would help heaps

Don't remember exactly mate - needed to delete a couple of files from /windows and /windows/system32 as well as deleting a couple of registry entries.

But I didn't remember the names

LOL, delete System 32. Always a good plan.

Chief, the most stable genius,, will this problem ever be fixed?

*edit, here's the bubble, bottom left corner - notice "prevent" is spelt "pervent" and there's no space between the fullstop & "windows will now etc etc"

 

[King Elvis]

Not the entire folder mate - just one file.. iexplorerhelper or some shit? See if you can find that...

Also, have you had a dodgy anti-virus scanner window pop up?

I did, so I just googled the name of that scanner "Windows Security Pro" or something, and found the fix there...

 

[Flawed Genius]

Ah stuff it, looks too complicated and I'll probably make this one explode.

I'll let the tech guys sort out Dad's laptop but this computer's so ****ed that it doesn't matter anyway.. Literally have filled the hard drive with downloaded movies (some pr0n, some not) and music. Need a new one.

Bottom right corner, virus location fail.

Yea, same, this one is ****ed; funny though. When it crapped itself, I was using IE, so I just downloaded Chrome, and it sorted it.

Also, Travyo goes BANG!

 

[TheTrav]

There seems to be a problem with TLC, it isn't on big footy

 

[King Elvis]

Yea, bit rough that only the loyal TLCrs get teh swinez on their PCs.

 

[Chief]

A web site can't infect you without you downloading and running something from it on your machine.

That message looks like it is from an EXISTING piece of malware on your computer. It is trying to get you to pay for software to remove itself.

Less of the surfing of dodgy pr0n sites, more anti-spyware...

What exactly were the problems identified? I'm guessing cookies. Am I right?

 

[Karl Pilkington]

I don't know where I got it, but it was whilst I was looking at TLC only (maybe the NSFW section?).

That winsecurity thing is an absolute bastard piece of malware btw, had to delete registry entries, downloaded CCleaner which helped but it was a bastard of a thing. Took me a day or two.

 

[King Elvis]

Not cookies mate - couple of files and registry entries.

What Karl said is right - I opened a page on TLC, then bang, my internet browser shit itself and that winsecurity pro or whatever window came up. Had to use another PC to google for the fix/removals.

Dodgy pr0n sites, no argument; but this was on my work PC, where visiting TLC is the dodgiest thing I do.
