*Virus* Need Help

[FoxDie]

About 5 minutes ago, I was browsing Fileplanet and Gamespy, and this box appeared (image attached at bottom of page)

Then I followed the link to this page, and read up on it. Now I'm confused, how do I fix this? That page just describes an exploit, and makes it look like patches have been distributed to fix the problem, but I don't see any security updates in the Windows Update available files that I don't have. Can somebody help me ?

from that site

REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS: "Because this is an exploit only, there are no removal instructions, since there is nothing to remove. This is a detection for the exploit, preventing the execution of malicious content on your computer. By detecting the exploit, it is prevented from running."

therefore its not a virus, your software merely informed you that the site was trying to use the exploit on your system, and it was stopped.

I missed that last part Thanks for clearing that up, I was thrown off by Norton telling me it couldn't fix it (so I figured it didn't stop it, and that the exploit was being used.)

By the way, did you order those metal slides for your 23's ?

EDIT (among others ): Mods, feel free to delete this topic, as it is no longer needed.

EDIT 2: Gah, so many mistakes!

I would hate to see what would happen if you were to get a virus

np bro
as for the slides, no not yet, my best friend (who I airsoft with, and the reason Im heavily into airsoft as well) has suffered a back injury... bad, he has been in pain for about 2 weeks now.. poor guy

so havent even thought about the slides.... Im just hoping he gets better.
if he doesnt play airsoft, its likely I wont.... I wouldnt do that to him.
(we are both uber gun nuts, and if he isnt able to play I wont)

Set up an indoor target trap for the guy. It isn't hard to do, and it'd amuse him for a bit... until you have to go reload for him, anyways.

You go do that and come back to us, and tell us how it went.

actually we went to the gunshow here in CA last weekend and he bought himself an AR-15 (well the FAB-10, legal for california)
we pick it up in 8 days, then we will be target shooting with the real rifle until his back heals.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck to him, hopefully he will be in good health again soon

thank you Im sure he would appreciate the sentiment, I shall pass it along

 

[Beast206]

Good to hear that. The AR15 (or variant) is a really pleasant rifle to fire.
