chema Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I have this strange and not so cool worm that changes the wallpaper, screensaver, icons, and explorer stuff to GAY THINGS!! Like my wallpaper now is two dudes :hump: AND ITS NOT COOL the same with the screensaver and everything :/ I googled it, but the only three pages founded were in german... Does any1 have this too? Or how to get rid of it? I scaned my system with AdAware and SpyBot... Laters, please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoHideo Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Haha that's pretty funny, at least to hear about. But if I had it, I would think it sucks. For you, I haven't heard anything about that but I really hope it doesn't get to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsnBehind Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Gay things, you say? :) I want that worm... ;) Virus Check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empty Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Its not a worm if you actively search for gay pics then post them on your desktop. Silly noodle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Cant you just delete the screensaver and background? Or do they keep coming back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedorpheux Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Its not a worm if you actively search for gay pics then post them on your desktop. Silly noodle. lol...nice choice of words: "silly noodle" ;) :uberhump: anyways, i havent heard about anything like this...only normal porn stuff like this, and even then conventional anti-spyware and adware programs usually get that.

John Veteran Posted September 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2003 :rofl: lmao, that's the first i've heard about something like this! run an anti-virus scan and check your startup programs and currently running processes. then change everything back to whatever you want.

ceminess Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 that sucks, try running ad-aware and spybot search and distroy. also try running a couple different anti viruses. if that doesn't work, then.. well son you are up the creek with out a paddle, or shall i say with no paddle's and a couple gay prono mags :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted September 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2003 do what i said above; if it doesn't work, try system restore. it will get rid of some worms, but you may still have to delete the files. try to find out the filename, then google it.

trashpickinman Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I googled it, but the only three pages founded were in german... try using http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and copy one of the URLs into "translate a web page" then click German to English in the drop down box, to see if any of the german sites have any relavant information. not perfect translation but might be able to understand most of it.

SunnyB Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Personally, I've never heard of a worm or virus like you are describing so I have to wonder, why did they single you out among the thousands of net users? Have you been somewhere you shouldn't have been? Do they know something that we don't? Come on, now. Tell the truth. What were you doing there? tsk, tsk. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faid Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I would like a copy of this worm. :woot: :yes: :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 LOL too fn funny! Thats gotta be the worst virus/adware i've heard of.... All jokes aside.. i suppose its time to learn how to take conrol of your pc... One good thing that will come it. Adaware 6 Spybot - Search & Destroy Virus Scan Go to IE internet optiones.. Programs tab "set web defaults" Open your hosts file delete everything except the line.. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) 127.0.0.1 localhost Open MSCONFIG (start.. run.. type msconfig ... hit enter.. go to startup tab) Delete everything that shouldn't be there... You should be clean as a whistle after all that.. Hint.. Don't click Yes on those pop-up installers.. they are all EVIL! :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted September 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2003 I second that. :D ;) i think neowin should add some additional "info" to our user accounts. :shifty: that way, those of us who are straight won't see gay pics, and those of us who are gay won't see straight pics :ninja: i've been using the ninja emote a lot tonight... maybe i should get off neowin :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMan Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 A colleague of mine once had a program on his computer that kept changing the wallpaper to a pic of Bent Ladin buggering Bush and the caption saying "Make Love, not war!" I think he had to format the computer to get rid of it as none of us could figure out how it was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
