Meh I don't have a PC so...to the guy who created this virus:

PBBTTHH!

[alamgir]

Well anyway becareful if u've got an email address on any other pc

[SSJKarma]

for all i care about stupid viruses like those...

unless it affects the hardware... like crushing your harddrive or anything like that...
i don't care for those...
FORMAT reinstall good GHOST and 30 minutes later, i'm up and running again. the best of all, ghost takes only 20 minutes ot bring my PC back online and the virus is gone for good !

if you have backups like your suppose to... then you don't have anything to fear from pathetic attemp it this !

anyway... what's the deal of doing things online when you know HACKERS are worst then people that you meet when you do things directly with them !

nothing to hide on my machine, they want pass form me, no problem... nothing is important in my passes !

[marvel911]

I dont open any email from anybody I dont know...I just call that junk mail. :alien:

[alamgir]

ssj my friend caught the virus when he opened the attachment. it deleted his whole harddrive and there is no way to delete this. so even if u download new software or do all the work u lost again it will delete it again and this hacker can use ur email. this is serious and there is no way to get rid of it.

[DA_VIPA]

hoooolly $hit thanks alamgir it almost got me i just logged into my hotmail addy an i saw that exact email in my box!! i've deleted it but now im afraid the hacker is going into my files and $hit like that....better delete the porno :laugh:

[alamgir]

how do u know the hackers going through ur files?

[DA_VIPA]

i dont.but im pretty paranoid when it comes to these subjects..

[alamgir]

dont worry he cant get u if u havent opened the file, and anyway what was the email address it was sent from?

[DA_VIPA]

Life is beautiful. pps" was the subject of the email..but there was no name where the email addy of the sender should be..!!? is that right?

[alamgir]

did u open the email not the file life is beautiful.pps but the actual email?

[DA_VIPA]

nah i read your post before i checked my emailz...and i wasnt gona risk it either

[alamgir]

my friend emailed me the post so u should copy it and give it to as many people as u can.

[DA_VIPA]

wtf would that do?

[alamgir]

it will stop the virus spreadin and everyone will be aware of it and not open that email.

[DA_VIPA]

yea i made sure everyone i know is aware of the virus mission acomplished..now i got 2 take out the guy who started it in the 1st place..just jokin...*silence* OK!! OK!! it was meeee!! i did it i made the virus!! i cant hold it in!! the silence is eating me alive!! arrrrrggghhhh!!!!!...





once again i was just jokin...


...or was i?

[DA_VIPA2]

uhmmmmmmmmm you guys help i can't replay e-mails but i can do everything else and i can't remember opening that file whutz up wit this plz help :buttrock:

[DA_VIPA]

have u read the 1st post in this topic...??

[DA_VIPA2]

yes but i did a norton antivirus scan with every file i had but i had not opened that e-mail nor seen a virus hmmmmmm

[alamgir]

norton anti virus cannot detect the virus nor stop it.

[SSJKarma]

alamgir: you don't know computer huh !

** FORMAT.COM **
is a little software coming on a BOOT DISK (WRITE PROTECTED)
who copletely erase the MBR and HARD DRIVE entirely... (example nothing is there except the hard drive itself)
NO VIRUS CAN SURVIVE THAT !
except if it stays in RAM which is pretty much impossible since when you turn off the computer, the RAM is CLEARED ENTIRELY !

and again... there is contradiction in what you are saying !
the virus erase your whole HARDDRIVE ! and let the guy control your computer
what's wrong in what you just said ?

again...
best solution against everything...
1 - FORMAT
2 - NORTON GHOST

nothing can be done for that cause your system is on a CD which is write protected, so it cannot be erased or modifyed once its done ! and GHOST is redoing your hard drive just like it was when you made the images on the CD (IE: everthing that happenned after that images, will be lost for good. including the ####### virus)

so yeah... a stupid virus don't scare me these days !
a virus is SOFTWARE ONLY !
which means FORMAT and GHOST are easily erasing it completely !
don't believe me, ask any computer geek and see if their answer is exactly like mine !

yes it is annoying to reinstall everything each time i get a virus... but at least i don't #### my computer trying to delete it without losing everything. a good BACKUP is always better then any ANTI-VIRUS you'll ever find !

caught a virus...
1 - FORMAT
2 - GHOST the drive
3 - play like nothing hapenned !

its worth 45 minutes of installation and your off like nothing hapenned !

[TJ5]

I got that email lol I got rid of it so fast =/

Who would be dumn enough to download a file from someone you don't even know? (much less something that sounds like an add such as that).

If you download that and run it... you have no one to blame but yourself for acting so stupidly.

[DA_VIPA]

there are a lot of very stoopid ppl out there 2000warrior i guess they are the people the hacker is tryin to screw...oh well life goes on...

[alamgir]

look ssj all i know is all i heard and the thing i posted first was made by norton and microsoft who emailed it to all the business companies.But maybe ur right but whatever the case i wouldnt wanna find out. :D

[da_realX]

thx man...needed the info

[bloodpack]

Meh I don't have a PC so...to the guy who created this virus:

PBBTTHH!
you have no pc?
how the hell you got your own forum, mallarky?
your tags? banners? how do you work on all that?

[alamgir]

he probably uses a library computer or a internet cafe one.

[SSJKarma]

that was pretty stupid to ask...
if he don't have a PC, its undoubtfully that he has a computer somewhere that he can uses !

but for all i know, he has a computer at his home, its just not a PC, but a MACINTOSH !
really, his the only player here that uses a mac to play this game, no doubt we never see him, in the chat rooms !

[bloodpack]

as always...my day isnt complete without you contradicting me :(

[Scorponok]

PC is IBM compatible, Apple isn't, and the term PC isn't applied to it formally. Joe is the only one that plays the game on a Mackintosh? Strange.. I seem to remember that this game isn't compatible with that..

[Panda_Man]

hey ssj... wut if the virus is installed to your comp... you know if you uninstall something a vital app to is installed permantly into your pc/mac period!

[SSJKarma]

first: bloodpack... didn't contradicted you, rather i enlightened you by answering to your question... as the fact that he doesn't have a PC but a MAC !

second: SCORPONOK... have i not said that we don't see him lot in the chat rooms ? if yes then it hink i mentionned that MAC have lots problems playing the game, which is BTW, like JAVA and is suppoose to work on all machines ! only have 1 guess as to why it doesn't work tho... that's DIRECTX which MACs aren't using !

THIRD: PANDA_MAN... when you don't know what a computer is, you don't go arguing with a technician !

again here is the descriptioln of a BOOT DISK and the two primal tool of a technician who has to have to bring back a computer to its when bought stage !

*FORMAT.COM*
a little software used to bring erase every single bytes on a hard drive and completely removes the OS (windows, linux, msdos and the likes)

basically, nothing is there anymore and the computer doesn't even start anymore !

*FDISK*
little tool that is used to make PARTITIONS on a harddrive and make him be read and detectable by the computer !

see... nothing and i mean nothing... is still there after a FORMAT !
no software can survive that little program... cause to survive the program would have to be kept in RAM... which is the only memory that can be read/writen in... but when you shut down the computer for about 5 minutes and more... that memory will not be even existing anymore, since no JUICE is in the computer anymore !

example:
a computer is only working in binaries.. 1 and 0 ... 1 means electricity is passing thru, 0 means no electricity is passing thru. so basically, when there is no electricity in the computer, there can't be anything working in there or even existing in there !

exception's are... removable media, such as HARD DRIVES which uses a physical disk to literally burn things so they can be kept intact while the computer is turned off !

so yeah, i know what i'm talking about when i say that VIRUSes will never survive when you bring a disk back to zero !

if you don't like FORMAT and think it still is unliable... then go LOW LEVEL FORMAT the drive ! which is a tool made by the company to bring their drives into the state they were in when you bought it !

BTW, LOW LEVEL FORMAT can be used to bring back a DRIVE that was HFS+ (apple file system) transformed !
which means, an APPLE DRIVE if was initially made for a PC, can be be seen again by a PC... even if formatted in HFS+ !

(i actually tryed this one... because i had to put the drive in a PC)

now shut it up PANDA !

[Scorponok]

second: SCORPONOK... have i not said that we don't see him lot in the chat rooms ?
Sorry, I misread it, sometimes a couple of your sentences don't make sense, but I get it now..

[DA_VIPA]

i aint no computer whizz...but i do get a lot of probs..i think ssj should make an official topic where he and all other computer whizz'z help out ppl with computer probs.just an idea

[SSJKarma]

already existing DA_VIPA, just look closely at the topic titles and you'll se it !
