According to all the security alerts, the virus does install itself by the user opening an exe file. If that is the virus you have, then that is (almost certainly) how you got it.justice wrote:

It never installed itsself, i was just getting a warning, but Norton owned it. Don;t you get it?? I NEVER opened any links ffs! I turned on my PC and the first thing I got was this warning. Any time to open links? No.Bertster7 wrote:

That's how the US seems to deal with other insignificant threats.
Unhelpful and stupid comments with nothing to do with the thread!!!
On a more helpful note...
In addition to the tips above download some free spyware apps and scan daily for any malware that may be installed. Two good ones are Lavasoft's Adaware and Spybot's Search and Destroy. Obviously they won't kill the virus but may help to mitigate the aftermath.
The Republicans are...protecting us from Terrorists... thanks for your concern. And good luck in your own country... I hope nothing happens there either.ghettoperson wrote:
