beware, trojan virus (not on this site though)

[0235]

ok, so my sister is browsing through the internet looking for lots of manga and anime, then she comes up saying, "what is security tools antivirus" and i say "its a virus"

somehow, from one of these sites, a manga/ anime one, which i may add internet explorer, the newest one, and the one before blocks and warns you that is might be dangerous, gave her a virus calle "security tools"

BEWARE this steals passwords and makes your computer un-usable.

it also works by opening a new tab, but the tab is just an image of what your doccuments look like and says it has found threats and must be installed, DONT click on it it is bad, very bad (my sister ended up innstalling it 3 times!!!)

i think that it is also a new windows 7 "virus" because someone else i know got it, so beware.

i am putting this up here because i know that we are all fans of anime and manga, and that is where she got it, so always remember, if a program pops up, and you didnt click on anything or if you dont know what it is, then close it, leave it alone!

It would be quite helpful if you would at least tell us which site to avoid.

This particular virus has been around for a while and it's not really a virus, which is why it's not caught by anything and it can't get rid of it.

Use this program if you get it, run it from your thumbdrive: http://www.superantispyware.com/ That will get rid of it.

Use this to re-enable any exe files that aren't running anymore: http://filext.com/faq/broken_exe_association.php

Get off of Internet Explorer! Make the switch to something better like Firefox or Opera! lol

Yeah, get off IE, use Opera or Chrome instead. (Fuck the IE clone FireFox. >_>)

And teach your sister to not be an idiot when browsing. lol =_=,
