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.

Ha. My brother once had these tropical fish called "betas." They were beautiful, but you could only have one because they'd instantly go after a rival fish.
Yep. That's how two anti-virus programs act. They try to remove each other.
I'm getting rid of the 30-day trial of Trend Micro for now, and then I'm going to research virus protection software.

Damn territorial, but, oh, so pretty =D
Mmm... I'm using a very good AV at work, I can't remember now which one, but I'll let you know as soon as my mushy brain is back on business

The AV is Clam (http://www.clamav.net/)!
