Oh, what a lovely infestation I have.

Oh, wonderful. I tried downloading the latest SPN episode from mininova.org and got a virus infected file instead.

Threat name: Trojan.Downloader.NUS and, worse yet, Adware.Maxifiles
Threat level: somewhere between Kristallnacht and nuclear holocaust

Bonus? Looks like it blocks me from going to the mininova.org web page. I can't warn anyone. Except you, of course.

Currently cleaning it out with Spywaredoctor. Next I run AVG.



ETA: Spywaredoctor caught it, cleaned it. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware found more. I still can't access mininova, however.

Annihow has more info for all of us. This particular problem disabled AVG, so she has masterful ways and tools to scan and disinfect your computer.

You could try grabbing the databases on a different computer and manually installing them - I dunno how AVG does this kind of thing, unfortunately. I use avast. I also don't know if that will work. Um. Techsupportforum.com is my current redirect when I'm offering tech help.

Techsupportforum.com? Okay, I'll keep them in mind. I've heard two recs (oh, ha, that sounds like fanfic...), one for Avast, another for Clam. Any thoughts?
