I downloaded a fucking virus today. >=(
But it was a weird virus.
I needed a kegen for VMwre, right? so I went to a site that I know is legit, and I clicked an advertisement that said 'download here' (which looked like a button attached to the site), downloaded and installed this thing (not realising it was a real ad).
As soon as I installed this thing it changed my background (image attached - if the quality is to shitty, it says "Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Instal an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer."), and all of a sudden BANG, this 'genuine antivirus message' (not an advertisement at all, of course) comes up and tells me that I need to buy their program to be clean of viruses.

But this is where it starts getting weird. Every time I restart my computer these termites come on my screen and eat all my friggin programs!!!! What the fuck! Termites!? My computer isn't made of wood you idiotic virus. If you wanted me to be the least bit genuinely surprised you could have gotten some zombies with hacksaws or something!!! psht anyway.
Norton antivirus couldn't fix it because (as everyone knows) it's shit, so I just d/led AVG free and hopefully that will do the trick. But somewhere down the line I told my mum about the termites eating the programs, and she got pretty scared, so she said 'youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air'. I begged and pleaded with her the other day but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way. she gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket, I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it. First class, yo this is bad, drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass, is this what the people of bel-air livin like, Hmm this might be alright! I whistled for a cab and when it came near the, licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror, if anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there to settle my throne as the prince of bel-air.

And that's why you should never download keygens.

Yeah I had one of those awhile ago, they're called "Rogue Anti-Spyware".
My advice:
-Don't freaking click on anything it tells you to! DON"T!
-Either go on an alternate computer and research the geek forums for horrendously complicated advice.
-Or just do a system restore back a week or so, that is, if you don't mind losing your recently downloaded files *cough* porn *cough*.

Umm yeah, it worked for me anyway...

Yep, it's a sig allright.

Oh i forgot to add...run your computer in safe mode to stop the virus from running any startup scripts. In case you don't know how to run it in safe mode:
-Restart your computer
-Press F5 when it says "Press F5 to enter setup" or something similar at the bottom of the screen (this is while it's still starting up by the way)
-Select the option "Safe Mode" and press enter...
THEN you can do the system restore...

Yep, it's a sig allright.

Actually, the whole reason I am downloading VMware is so I can virtually run mac on my windows.

Some spyware causes this, you need to go to system 32 on your pc, rearrange icons according to date, and the newest will probably be it, also look for similar dll or exe files on your pc and delete them. Shutting down some of your start up applications could also help.
