This site gave me Spyware! But I fixed it :)

Yes, when I was browsing this site, Windows PC Repair went haywire and said I had to buy a $50, but McAffee said it was OK. I’m not sure if it was from this site exactly, or if it was from clicking on the RD Patch Link on the left of the main page, but I got hit hard! Before I went out and spent money on this thing, I did a System Restore to take my computer back 2 days, and it was fixed! No more bogus warnings. So, if the same thing happens to anyone else out there browsing this site, don’t buy anything from anyone, just do a System Restore to about two days before you got hit, and you should be all set. No hard feelings to the site or anything like that, I still like ya.

Your computer was probably already infected with something.

I can’t imagine Google or something injecting malicious code onto the site.

the site would never inject anything malicious…AJ on the other hand…

The internets were all like, “QUICK! GET HIS BELT OFF!”

And he was all like, “6 feet .. . 12 feet. . . SYSTEM RESTORE OH NOES!”

And we were all like, “AHHHHHH!”

And then he was like “Nice going GBFANS”

And I was like, “Oh ch’yeah, try and make it sound like it was MY fault. You were too stupid not to drop that plumb line on that link!”

And he was like “Stupid? Hey man, watch it! I’ll knock your lights out!”

And I was like “Well ANYTIME”

And Jairus was like, “QUICK TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF.”

And then it got weird up in here.

“Windows PC Repair” sounds like a rogue antivirus.

The purpose of malware like this is to scare people into sending them money (hence the request for $50 from “Windows PC Repair,” which is NOT part of Microsoft Windows) or getting people’s credit card numbers. DON’T give them a credit card or ANY financial information!

Chances are, you were infected elsewhere (Do you download games/music or use software like Limewire/Frostwire?), and the false “security warning” just happened to pop up while browsing this site.

System restore may take care of it, but if you have a local computer shop or know someone experienced in malware/virus removal, I’d have them take a look at it and make sure you’re clean.

GBfans is a safe site, but the rest of the Internet is a scary place.

Be careful!

a similar thing happened to me and spybot s&d removed it.

It is also called AntiVirus Live

Actually..

My dad got this Antivirus Live BS as well. He was getting a popup for it every 60 seconds.

I think it is linked to ■■■■■■■■■■■.

If anyone gets Antivirus Live, get a program called “Combo Fix”

That is what I have used on my wife’s, my mom’s, and my friend’s computers to get rid of it.
