    I just downloaded an virus


    Hello, my name is Loyalty but you can call me Loyal!So basically around 6:00 I downloaded a file not knowing it was a virus and now it takes up to 20GB off my storage. I don't want to reset my PC cause I have so many important things to get on to and I have really big files that I really need to keep and don't have time to download them again. The file name is _Oceanofgames_Outlast2.zip. This file just had a note when I extracted it and again I cannot remove it. There is no software as well. Please someone help me as fastest as possible cause I brought my PC just a few days ago.Whoever helps m

    New Virus Comes Disguised as IE7 Download

    If you receive an e-mail offering a download of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, delete it. A new virus is spreading all over the web. The e-mail includes a convincing graphic that looks like it could really be from Microsoft, and the virus is delivered when recipients click on the included link. The e-mails carry the subject line "Internet Explorer 7 Downloads" and appear to come from admin@microsoft.com. They include a blue, Microsoft-style graphic offering a download of IE 7 beta 2. Clicking the graphic will download an executable file called IE 7.exe. The file is actually a new virus called Virus.Win32.Grum. Security experts are still trying to analyze the virus, which may affect your registry, mail contact list or steal personal information from your computer.

    New PC DRM!

    You mean:

    Pirated
    Step 1: Find Pirated version.
    Step 2: Download (which takes far longer than all the waiting for saving would take if your internet connection truly is slow)
    Step 3: Scan downloaded copy with anti-virus.
    Step 4: Install and pray hard that it isn't virus infected
    Step 5: Install the pirating bit and pray some more that it isn't a virus
    Step 6: Enjoy with above worries
    Step 7: Save
