Ctrl-Alt-Delte, end task. You fucking idiot.

Chances are it got into your computer and it will keep generating pop-ups to get downloaded until it's completely removed. I've yet to hear anyone else complain about getting it from NG so I guess it's just generating it's pop-ups while you're on the site and not from it. Getting rid of it means correcting the changes it makes in your registry. I know Norton offers steps for manually removing it yourself, but there are dedicated websites that will walk you through through the process.

Well, i've removed it now, but I've gotten it from NG, I know I have. I mean, I was on the site, and twice its happened, so how else could I have gotten it? I don't really think that it would just come from another website and on to my computer.

Also, about the 'X' thing, there is an X, but when you press on it, it leads you to the virus again too, I believe. It was part of the pop-up.

too bad you don't have any software to go with that shiny new mac

Send Tom a pm. Maybe he will do something.

That never happend to me. This makes me afraid to go to the Where is/How to section now...

I got the same thing not long ago. I was confused on whether it was real or not, because it actually came up as an SBC/Yahoo error message to me.

Thankfully, Afro helped me out on it.

E-Ganaria is more like it

I'm suprised your anti virus didn't just destroy it.

oh well good thinking at leaste you got rid of it

You know....If I did not know better....I would say you was being sarcastic...

Diseases caused by viruses include:

* influenza (flu)
* colds
* measles
* mumps
* rubella
* chicken pox
* tetanus
* AIDS

if you got from newgrounds it would be directly from newgrounds but it was a pop-up and that happened to me to so i did system restore

HAHA, ignorance is bliss.

Ive gotten it 3 time in the past 2 days, it hasnt managed to install itsel yet however.

That would still let the virus auto-download itself to your computer. He should of either done ALT+F4 or disconnected from the internet, then cloese the box.

And to the topic starter, i suggest gooling and downloading AND installing...........

Spyboy Search and Destroy

Adaware SE Personal

They are pretty good and can detect this virus....

I feel your pain.I felt like a dumb ass when I found out.

i get this about 1 in every 10 time i load up ng's.

it only happens on this site.

whenever a fake windows message pops up, never click anywhere on it. close the window. fake windows popups are usually one big button, clicking on it anywhere will cause it to install crap on your computer.
there are tons of fake spyware removal programs out there, if you dont have spybot search and destroy, get it, it knows all of the fake spyware removal programs as long as you update it regularly.

error safe = spyware !! !realy: when im walking around on newgrounds sometimes it pops up and it fulle clicks away all of my internet pagew whehn i cancel !

I think I remember getting that pop-up; it was like a javascript popup, right? I wasn't on the n00b forum, tho, so be careful of the whole newgrounds site...

Dun dun dun.

If you really, really got a virus from a pop up on NG, you should PM Tom about it. Did you bother doing that?

Well, it said that it couldn't access the file, so I ran a system scan and it found it, so ig ot rid of it.

Good idea, I will PM Tom about it. Its happened twice now.

No no that was a pop up from Project1.exe not newgrounds and the error message was an image.
