I am assuming its this crap.. Kaspersky catches it before it even bothers me.. Its a paid for anti virus though.. But its free for me..

I got flagged by Avast about it, as well. Thank goodness it stopped it from infecting, as I am on a fresh XP install.

And Chrome is my browser.

yea it started doing weird crap to the work pc, saying all kind of stuff wasn't working, anything i clicked on then it would pop up a msg with yes/no and either option would try to open a site to buy this antivirus, avg free blocked it both times though and I removed it manually then got microsoft security essentials and finished it up that way.

Chris, all I did is visit this site and got the virus. I only go to like 5 sites all the time in general....here, 502streetscene, MSNBC, CNN, WIRED, and gmail. So you've got an issue you need to find out.

Dont treat us as if we're trivial.

I got it too. I'm running IE b/c FF runs too slow for some reason. I have AVG Free and it cought it and I deleted it. Problenm solved. I think waht some of us are trying to say, is that we shouldnt HAVE to change our computers or how we use them, or what we use on them, simply to view this site. find the problem. fix it. we will stop *****ing about it. Just my 2 cents

AVG didnt catch the one on my work computer that i got from here today.

I got the same one on my desktop at home last week, but i thought that was from porn.

I'm afraid to open CA.com at work anymore. and some of them porn sites can give your computer electrical aids.

It just tried to run on my pc. Amazing, running a browser with protection and a decent firewall/antivirus seems to prevent this. awesome.

Came to the site then my desktop firewall popped up saying my box was trying to connect out to some 85.x.x.x address and stopped it, antivirus reported it. Running firefox but who knows what all kinds of goofy **** I have enabled in it....oh well.

If I'm going to get hit with that stuff it should at least be from a site with some ******* on it
