Regular Lounge

This is the place for all your general talk. Sing away.

Minor request of rules from me are:
No spamming, please.
Deffinetly NO flaming!

You can create a topic of your own if you want to.

....Next time, please try to show up when I tell you as soon as possable...
Just glad you DID actually show up. Mui was faster than you.

All is well, now I don't have to feel so nervous since you're both here.

Wait... Who are you again?

That is VDL. He is now using a new name here.

Ahhh, I see.

I hate the way your site is taking a while to load so suddenly, damn
network errors... why is this happening?

*bashes the cpu*

It's really odd. I browse it quite fine.

It's going very slow for me right now...

Should be back to normal now.

Yes, things have have climbed back to normal speed a bit...

I never aw anything wrong with it.

It must have been the computer acting retarded again...

Mine has too...
it's supposed to be plug 'n' play, but it never reads anything i put in it:
Ihave to force it under the setup when the cpu comes on...
and I think that is a very funny thing VDL.

I fixed it now...
I don't understand it, this thing has gone through so many problems, but it always gets back up:
and I am helping it greatly with the norton 360, though
ever since i got it i've only gotton 2 kinds of viruses
- 3 trojans
- 4 bloodhounds
and just a question:
what the hell is bloodhound???

.......sounds like a new virus to me...? be careful and update your
virus sacning/blocking software to the highest level you can get it!

Not always, some Trojans identified by my AVG are actually files from system restores that I had made. Those ones are absolutely harmless.

I googled it and found a few results:
What the
Bloodhound.Exploit.6?
The Bloodhound.Exploit.6 is a Microsoft
Internet Explorer/Outlook Express vulnerability discovered in February
2004. The vulnerability results from the incorrect handling
of HTML files embedded in CHM files. (CHM is the Microsoft-compiled
HTML help format.) However, because of Norton Antivirus' (and other
antivirus programs) ability to detect virus patterns, this heuristic
detection of viruses can sometimes lead to false positives.

Bloodhound Virus

What does a bloodhound computer virus do? It causes your computer to
automatically download virus-loaded sites onto your system (favorites)
and opens infected and unwanted web pages without your consent as soon
as you go online.

Here is more input:

• It will blow up your computer in 30 days!
  

Best remedy: Norton Antivirus

• They have many forms so therefore you cannot fully
  identify one. In my case it was bloodhound.w32 -- it freezes up the
  computer.
  

It wrecks your PC. Enjoy!

• Read both of the F-Secure and Symantec links to the right
  BEFORE doing any cleaning of the virus. Only Norton labels unknown
  viruses "bloodhound" and therefore ever finds one. You may want to scan
  with this which could find the virus with another name, then re-scan
  with Norton to see if that same bloodhound thing is still there.
  

Basically it makes your screen melt. Trust me I have seen it in action. Your screen just fades away. And then it flashes.

Never had it, never seen it before, and never plan on encountering one.

Same here, but I think this cpu needs a system restore again because the ads
are back again.
