Saturday I experienced my first virus ever!! (had lil things before but quickly cleaned by Norton so I saw nothing) I was browsing and reading about a medication I take....suddenly the Norton screen came on and said one of my files had "Trojan.DesktopHijack" attached to a file and to delete that file and replace it. I deleted it right away and started running a Live Update and there were quite a few new ones even though I do this every few days.

Suddenly, my home page on IE changed and popups from he!! started opening so fast I could not close them all. I ran my Ad-aware and Spyware but the Spy-bots were multiplying faster than I could delete them and the software froze. The screen flashed more sites and I watched my hard drive disintegrate within just a few minutes!! I noticed that my Favorites folders was replaced by porno sites - I could tell my the awful names and I have never even SEEN a porno site!!

It froze, died and will not boot So, hubby took it out and that offending box is just sitting on the workbench. I have a new (old) drive in here now but it will not let me load my camera software for some reason, but at least I can e-mail and read PT.

This was WEIRD!!

Anyone else get a bad computer virus and what did it look like???
