I believe the best solution would be for the search engines to mark pretty visibly the site’s that carry viruses..because as you said people lack the common sense today and put them in the most unusual places: the cutest, the glittery, the more attractive they look the more possible they hide something despicable behind…a good, updated anti virus should help though.

Thank you for the heads up! I just cant really think of the best reason why someone would really do that, why not just focus on anything that is progressive instead of hacking and sending virus outhere.

Gotta be more careful. One time I gotta a virus by clicking on a picture of the Pope. Now tell me, who in the world could be that disrespecting.

Sometimes you pick up viruses from some freeware you download on your computer.

However, a couple of weeks ago someone HACKED my site and installed malware. I spent the whole Memorial Day weekend in tears, frantically trying to fix it (I am so not a tech person). Google was listing my site as “suspicious” and that “it may harm your computer” and that it contained malware, and Internet Explorer was warning visitors if they wanted to proceed further. If anyone tried to access my site with Firefox it ran a screen calling my site “An Attack Site!” I was mortified. Not only for myself, although I was an innocent victim, but because I may have unknowingly affected visitors to my blog! I ran virus scans, malware scans, I “fetched as Googlebots” (mine is a Blogger blog), and had Google review my site TWICE. Finally, I must have removed the bad stuff (apparently on a post that I published last October but only infected recently). I removed the post and apparently that did the trick. I was so nervous for days afterward. I kept changing my passwords, making them REALLY hard to crack with combos of letters, numbers AND symbols. I’ve had to persuade people on blog directories that my blog is safe now.

I picked up one from a freeware typing program. The virus was bundled into the .exe file. My computer crashed so many times, I saw a blue screen in my dream! Switched to Linux the next day —- Ubuntu Forever!

Well – hmm… Oh yeah. I remember. I don’t remember where I picked it up, but my computer was completely fried. Then, I did something that put my computer back in time to the last system save. Free at last. Everything was happy, until about a year later where the timeline of my computer hit the time in its timeline when it got the bad virus and then it was dead again. It was like turning back the clock, except the clock was going forward again. After that, I go a mac.

I got a Rogue virus TWICE from I Can Has Cheezburger in the same week. Made me a very angry little lady. I notified them but heard nothing back. Managed to get it off of my system both times but yeah.

My fiancé and I used to share a computer, and had one that had been offline for a while but I’d been getting stuff from the net at Uni and then putting it on our computer at home. Soon as we hooked that PC back up to the net at our new place a Trojan unpacked itself and that was that. Had to re-install Windows, which I did and was very proud of myself for doing, save that I didn’t install it over the last copy and put it on a different drive but you just picked at boot up which version you were booting and it was all good… sort of.

We have new ones now. They’ve got the same damn hardware issue as each other; in spite of having them built for gaming, can’t play a freaking game on them. They’re going back to the shop to be fixed soon. (^_^)

I’m sick and awake at 5:30AM. Wahhhh (u_u)

What happened to your system?You may use any virus scanner to clean up the system. Its really funny that you started with baby lamb and end with a horrible virus. Anyway I hope you have cleared the infection.

“God. Remember when the Internet was free of crap and spam and viruses and spyware and junk?”

Yes, but keep in mind that back then the Internet was 40% Hamster Dance and 40% “Under Construction” GIFs and 20% other stuff.

Even in my crazy Entrecard dropping hey day I never picked up a virus. I run Spybot S&D, AVG Free edition and automatic Windows updates, and have had no problems with virii, trojans or other assorted Malware on XP, Vista, or Win 7 machines.

The only virus I’ve had in recent years was on my work computer. And that was on a fresh image from a virus that was on a server someplace in corporate.

A friend of mine recently received a forwarded email with cute pictures and near the bottom of it it said, “virus included”. She thought it was a joke, opened the email and ended up getting a nasty virus which took weeks to get rid of.

Fortunately she hadn’t forwarded it to me.

apparently VIA Rail has something against baby lambs too. I was trying to read blogs while on the train home from Montreal yesterday and it blew a gasket at this one.

Or perhaps it was the mention of viruses

I picked up a virus once by downloading a driver for an obsolete camera that I had picked up a garage sale. Pretty obscure, since I doubt more than 10 people on the whole planet ever downloaded this driver.

Yeah, but cotton candy in a bag from a store is just NOT THE SAME as cotton candy at the fair made in front of your face!
