User blog comment:Icelilly/Hetalia Virus (Important)/@comment-158533-20100207165512

Now that I read the thread on Wikia, I do remember a strange thing happening while I was on Vocaloid Wiki. While it didn't shut down my browser, it thrust me into some fake online scanning thing. Maybe it is or is not related to this thing, but I thouhgt I'd put it out there. (Of course, that idea came up by looking at a June '09 post, so I doubt it's the same problem) But... "[A] Trojan horse that is known to cause popups and advertising for rogue antispyware programs, and sporadically other misbehavior including performance degradation and denial of service with some websites including Google and Facebook." So is it pretty much the same idea? Is there any really quick way to see if I have the virus? Like I said on Ceras's blog, I ran a sweep for 2 hours and only found spy cookies, BUT it didn't finish. Also, since Ad-Block Plus blocks the ads, they can't affect us, right? I mean, stupid question, but I just wanted to make absolute sure that it does more than just not display the ad. ^_^;; And of course, thanks for the info. Nice to know that I'm a prime target. =_=; EDIT: Goddamn, how'd I forget to say this? I think we should make some sort of an announcement on the front page to notify visitors of the virus. I've also seen on Sims Wiki and Megami Tensei Wiki times when they've put these announcements that stick to the top of the page for a long time unless you click to dismiss the notice.
