Thanks

I agree with HerpDerp. I’ve been hit with this same virus (or one that sounds almost identical) from a malicious banner ad on (of all places) myspace. You don’t even have to click the banner ad, just having it load up on the page is enough to screw your machine.

This is why I always try to surf with noscript enabled and I highly recommend all windows users do the same.

I downloaded the swg. and dragged it into a browser window

Nothing happens

I checked flash player… apparently I have the latest

I’m running a PC bare of anything save for Windows Security Essentials as well, and I don’t have any problems like that at all. I *HAVE* had what sounds like that exact problem happen to me before, though, and it was the result of opening something in a Chrome incognito window (i.e., with Ad-Block automatically disabled). I’m sorry you’re having computer troubles — I remember how pissed I was when it happened, taking a bit over a day to fix — but sadly I kind of just wonder if it’s a liability of the Internet these days.

Good luck.

Windows Security Essentials didn’t pick up anything and nor did the scan via the web from Microsoft but Eset’s web scan has picked up what it says is a variant of WIN32/Kryptic.MMZ trojan.

Given that Norton picked it up and others say they haven’t probably means most scanners miss it (or possibly it targets Microsoft Security Essentials – the site it takes you too is pretending to be Microsoft – and the person with Norton had that installed too).

I’m not sure I’m in the clear yet as the scan is still running. Eset still has to remove the thing, but hopefully I’m nearly there.

BTW the Eset scan is here: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner

What SimpleSimon describes is not coming from the game but from some nasty ads the site might have hosted. Not the hosts fault really. Its a common scam to pretend to be some kind of virus scanner and actually be a trojan malware.

I recommend using Firefox with Ad-Block and No-Script extensions for added safety.

When I tried to download the game a warning came up saying that there was a virus on the computer and after that, I couldn’t run any applications, Microsoft Security and Task Manager included. All that happened was a box came up saying that whatever file I was trying to run had been blocked because it was infected. At first I thought this was part of Microsoft Security and clicked on the box which opened a window claiming to be ‘MS Windows Security’ and it made as if it was running a scan. After a short time it showed a list of viruses and trojans and gave the choice to ignore or fix. The fix option opened a page that suggested it was a download page from Microsoft (although it didn’t look quite right) and all I needed to do was enter my credit card details, pay a small sum and the removal tool would download and fix my computer,

Needless to say, I declined!

I’ve restarted in safe mode and I’ve left a scan running (from what I hope is the real Microsoft web site!)

Are you running Norton?

I’ve also been scanning forums for similar reports and found one from February in regard to an older version. Let me know what you can.

You’re probably running this on an Apple or Linux machine. Unfortunately I was using a PC. I say was because it is now blocked by some sort of virus or trojan that won’t let me run any applications including antivirus tools.

Not saying it is your fault or anything but it is something to be aware of.

Thanks Violet:) Though I must now ask. What other games are you playing on your computer, and where can we download them from? And yea, how do you win, if of course their is something to win here beyond a great fantasy blowjob.

I learn something new (and hot!) every day…
