Ouch. I hate to think of how this is going to effect the porn community. I'm sure there will be rioting in the streets.
It'll slow down the porn economy for a couple of hours but I think it'll pick back up in no time at all. I really wish I knew the exact source of the virus though so that I could simply avoid that site forever.
Anyway, like c-zom said, never run a system restore if u get a virus. Also, u need to be careful what u download and do regular scans. I reccomend AVG to everyone when I fix their computers, and if someone brings a computer to me to get fixed that has viruses, I add a copy into my fee. Helps keep them safe in the future.
So I already ran the system restore, what now?
I haven't been downloading anything from shady areas, and I usually stream from only a few sources that haven't done me wrong in the past. Mainly, I'll download things from my school's website to do homework. Right now I'm using McAfee, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Anyway, i would suggest a full shutdown of your network. Then use a "clean" computer to scan every hard drive or jump drive you use for evidence of the virus. There's a chance it could have been a timebomb and has been spreading. Finally, flash your router back to factory settings, then give it a new password. Never know what someone might burritos behind. Oh also reset all your passwords on everything. I know of some viruses that are meant to steal your cookied passwords as well as system passwords and then damage the system so you can't tell what happened.
I'm running off my school's network, so I have no connection with the router? Haven't plugged a usb drive into my comp in a while, either, so I'm not worried about that. When it comes to passwords, I had some company profile info in a locked excel file and my firefox is set to automatically clear cookies/passwords/history anytime it closes.
Btw, thanks for the sympathy, Mia. Most of the documents lost were old papers written for classes a while back and I was able to save some of the more important docs that I reuse by going through the recent history on Word/Excel and resaving some of the docs that I could find.
The one thing I'm worried about now is that I lost my Oblivion saves. Do my save's get backed up in the cloud, or should I assume that I lost about 6 hrs of playtime(not bad, but still a decent chunk of my time)?
