Odd virus?

[fcuknu]

Had this for a while, ran anti virus, didnt get anything. Alright, whenever I click on an exe I get an error message that says Windows Cannot find 'program string'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a wile, click the start button, and then click search. I get around this by right clicking on the exe and going to run as, is there any way to fix this? I have run avg and norton, neither pick it up

It’s the liberal conspiracy virus. No way to get rid of it…

Solved. Fucking around in my registry, and I found that there was a corrupt line in my exefile folder. It had winampwe.exe in front of 1" %*" (which tells windows to launch the program) so every time I tried to launch program, that was put in front of it, dunno if I was not paying attention one time when editing or if it was from a virus. Well after 3 or 4 months of it, I finaly fixed it :)

Sircam... Ugh that was a NIGHTMARE for me about a year ago...

If you get an e-mail--even if it looks like it's from someone you know--with any of these subject lines, delete it: "Your details," "Thank you!," "Your application" and "Wicked screensaver." It's yet another mass e-mail worm trying to attack your computer. This one, officially called Sobig.F, attempts to download files from the Internet and could leave your PC vulnerable to further attack, reports Reuters.

If you are running Norton and have it automatically update and run once or twice a week, do I need to worry about my PC becoming infected and going unnoticed???

As long as you update Norton Antivirus you will be fine.


Outlook is a magnet for viruses and that is why I don't use it.
