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.

Thanks. I don't use torrents, but I'm spreading the word as best I can. Ugh, so annoying! I hope it hasn't done any damage to your computer.

Thank you. I just wish I could go to mininova and warn people there, but the Malware has somehow blocked that connection (along with my virus protection database updates).
