Jane Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm too scared to go on Neopets...I don't want to go through all the trouble to fix my brand new computer just for some virus. Hopefully Neopets will fix it soon. What do these viruses actually do, anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspicious Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Viruses infect your computer. It makes it slow, or your computer will freeze, and programs won't function correctly. There's lots of negative stuff that a virus can do. Once I got a virus and I had to reinstall the whole Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inflexigirl Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 wow. i just read the news on tdn. i cant believe myspace had the same ad as well. i guess my virus scanners (mcafee security system and windows defender) are doing their jobs. b/c ive been on myspace the whole time that neopets has been infected. and my computers fine. :) and now that neopets is back in the office, im sure theyve taken care of it!

Lou Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I have adblockers and virus protection but I'm still too scared to go on Neopets. I really want to but I don't want to risk it. Aaah I'm going insane without Neopets lol. It's my boredome buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimickey008 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 At one stage, I completely freaked because a pop up showed up but luckily nothing happened and I exited the neopets site though just in case. I have like 3 different virus protectors, all very good ones, so I think I am relatively safe but ya never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie?! Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ellie, I have already tried it. It won't go anywhere. It says on the bottom right side of the window that it's opening the url but it stays blank. Nothing happens. So if I can't browse ANYWHERE or anything, I can't download Adblock.

That's weird, try re-installing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone know a GOOD site that you can download a GOOD ad blocker cause like i have ad block for Mozilla just not for IE. I get inappropriate pop-ups which i do not want to see, and other annoying pop-ups. Is there an ad-block for IE? If anyone knows one, PLEASE POST IT . Plzes and thank you-s.

Good! 'Cause that's the only security thing I've got. That and ASC. (AOL Security Center) But I think I'll just live of TDN until it's all clear.
