Ok on a few sites it pops up and google chrome auto downloaded this thing. I dont know if im fucked now or if by deleting it quickly im ok. Does anyone know how to check to make sure this thing isnt infecting me as i type?

It happened before i formatted and my AV didnt find it.

I just reformatted so im running on bitdefender. Usually eset would block its connection to the pc. But its a virus that uses a hole in adobe to crush your pc. Possibly what happened before.

I deleted it and i gotta update adobe reader to make sure it doesnt happen. Ill know in a few days i guess.

It spreads through ads so it could happen on any site.

Adobe reader is so loaded with exploits, it's ridiculous.

Probably a good idea to use noscript on firefox to avoid this shit. As far as I know, one of the exploits a while back could run code without any user interaction at all. Not sure if this has been fixed yet, but adobe reader is a pile of shit.

Get HiJackThis and create a log file and upload it here, I'll check it for you if you want. Or if you want to trust the 'experts', I think you can upload it to their website and they'll have look for you. Furthermore, eww Google Chrome </3. Opera 10 ftw.

Google Chrome does not open anything like that, its FF.

Nope my chrome auto downloaded it. This pic is on firefox. I just reformatted again because i screwed somethingup. I have liek 3 windows.old folders now, but everything is in order. I guess something was wrong on my old installer. This install shuts down in 30 seconds. The last one took 2 - 3 minutes.

As long as it isn't running, a virus is entirely harmless on your computer. But the second you run it, it multiplies and multiplies and multiplies. It'll go in your startup folder, it'll infect critical OS files, etc.

So if you know you have never run this thing, you can just get rid of it with no hassle.

There was a flash exploit that could infect you too a while back. It's probably fixed now, but who knows with adobe.

Yes indeed, one flash ad could potentially keylog you.

k, I would press ctrl+alt+del open task manager see if the process is running delte it and I would delete it from you'r computer

Secondly Sometimes in runs in a hidden process like explorer.exe
also try your regidet and see if anything is there
