Been being attacked by this malware announcement when I sign onto MySpace:

? Warning!
Your computer contains various signs of viruses and malware programs presence.
Your system requires immediate antiviruses check!System Security will perform
a quick and free online checking of your PC for viruses and worms.

(The improper grammar and spacing are the malware’s).

Besides sounding like English is not the author’s first language, this message disables your ability to close either the MySpace session window or the message box.

If you click CANCEL in the malware message box, it starts downloading crap onto your computer and the only way to stop the download is to unplug your computer and take the battery out of the laptop so it crashes.

If you don’t click on it, the only way out is to RESTART your computer.

I’ve only been hit with this particular malware message while on MySpace, and it attacks me a couple times a week every frigging week. You’d think a company with MySpace’s money would do a better job of keeping its customers safe — but then what am I thinking: this is MySpace after all who don’t seem to care much for the likes, dislikes, needs, wants and safety of its customers. In fact I sometimes think MySpace is just a twisted Nazi experiment by the CIA’s el sicko psychoitrists.

As this “Malware delivered by Yahoo, Fox, Google ads” article points out — news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20000898-245.html“Users don’t need to click on anything to get infected; a computer becomes infected after the ad is loaded by the browser, Avast said . . . The most compromised ad delivery platforms were Yield Manager and Fimserve, but a number of smaller ad systems, including MySpace, were also found to be delivering malware on a lesser scale, Avast Virus Labs said.

Even worse yesterday my laptop got hit with the “Antispyvirus Vista” malware which floods your computer screen with scary attack warnings about infected computers and crashing systems and won’t even let you go online via the Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers to research how to fix it unless you agree to buy their malware fix program (however the Chrome browser still worked). It also disables your malware scans. This one was much scarier because we had to go online to research it and then manually go in and change the values of the program registry to get rid of it (which we did, thanks to Lady K’s expertise).

I yearn for the relative safety of the old online days when you actually had to click on something to be infected – this new batch of viruses is more akin to catching syphilis without sexual contact – where’s the fun in that?

Although I did catch crabs once without having intercourse — I slept nude and bathed with a woman who I didn’t know had crabs and they crawled over onto me in the night and made my life hell for a week. I shaved my pubes and bathed to no avail. Finally had to buy some horrid goop to wash myself and my sheets with.

And I was lucky I got crabs from her without sex because I found out later she had herpes so I would have been doubly damaged had we interfaced genitals.

  1. One way I’ve been able to get out of that “spyware scanner” without restarting my computer is by clicking CTRL ALT & DEL simultaneously – thus opening the task manager – and there I can terminate the browser application. Then I can reopen my browser to find the problem gone until the next time I stumble upon it on MySpace.
