Solve : My computer really freaked out last night!? |
|
Answer» I booted up and logged on to the web, then I started getting Trojan warnings from my McAffee. I got off the web and my desk top picture went away to a default?( blue) with something wanting me to download some anti spyware stuff. I think I picked the bug up on a torrent site. Why would people act like they are sharing things, just to load this junk?Those torrent sites can be risky, thats for sure, if I use them I try to stick to Demonoid, pretty safe site....Your Hijack log looks clean from my untrained eye but you should wait for one of the Malware experts to check it out.
