Virus Warning! Pictures On This Board! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Polniaczek033 · 06-17-2002, 09:57 AM

VIRUS ALERT! Those pictures that were in Caitlin's (Teddy's Gurl<I think) Contained viruses. I opened them, finding 3 days later, there was a virus on my computer. That was the only thing opened for months. I found this out because I was on my computer, I have this computer game eGames, and I hit it by mistake and had to rename it. I was trying to retype eGames into it, instead, with everything I typed out came I AM F***ING GAY

It wasn't starred out. If you opend those pictures in the post "Anyone else see how disturbed my friend is", Take extreme caution if the virus hasn't attaked already.

Thanks for the warning. Fortunately, I haven't open any pics on that thread. You should contact TJ (PM or e:mail). If there is a virus, he can remove the thread.

.......I opened them, and I scanned with Norton yesterday, and I never found anything. So maybe it only gets certain computers or something..

Scan with Norton! But don't worry, nothing came up on my computer, so don't fret.

Don't worry! I opened it and nothing was wrong on my computer either! And my scanner scans everytime I start, so I know nothing happened.

Kay Scarpetta · 06-17-2002, 04:15 PM

I don't think there IS any virus, because I've checked with Norton, and Sam, I don't know what's wrong with your computer but honestly, those pictures (If I'm thinking of the ones you are thinking of) the pictures are from an advertising website that makes profit, so I honestly doubt there are any viruses in the pictures

TibbyTibby2 · 06-17-2002, 04:26 PM

I dunno..... i didn't open it. But if ther was a problem you would probably know.

Have you updated your virus definations? Update em then try, I dont think its a virus cause the only virus that can infect pics u also have to have a certain program thats a virus as well for pics to be infected and all the computers have to have the program as well, ITs hard to understand, But this virus just came out a week ago and Norton thinks it has not spread to any computers, And Just because you dont download things doesnt mean you can't get a virus, Whenever you go to websites it saves those pics and stuff on the site under you temp internet files, You may have got that virus just by visiting a website, I have got viruses before just by going to websites....... Polniaczek033, What is the virus called that you had?
