Agreed, surprise and fear.

have a red.

She is a genuinely nice lady who thought she was doing you arrogant ****s a favour by telling you of this. How was she to know you're all computer gods who are far too savvy to ever be affected by a virus & know every hoax ever perpetuated?

So, you're now redding people for trying to help & just not 'knowing what you know', now, KW?

Class. Really.

The whole world has been trading those stupid virus warning emails since about 1983..... she's either 3 years old or been living on the planet mars not to know that.

Same same the Nigerian hoax emails, I mean how many times can ya warn the same people?

There was a report recently that over 70% of Thai websites carry viruses.

I got one when I visited the Jaymart mobile phone retailers website recently.

I had an antivirus running but it stealthed onto my laptop and started infecting loads of files and accessing the internet to download more. It also automatically opened windows in Firefox and IE leading to sites that sell antivirus products. It placed icons in the toolbar as well which kept issuing warnings. It was getting worse and worse!

Nothing could remove them, I tried AGV, Kaspersky, Avira and a couple of others but the viruses shut down many of the antivirus programs and stopped spyware scanners - Adaware, Malaware etc from functioning correctly.

As a last ditch attempt before reformatting my HDD I downloaded Super Anti-Spyware free version and it found and deleted most of them, allowing me to use the laptop again without irritating pop-ups or system reboots. After a couple of updates and scans it found them all.

I think it was 'Vundo.variant' that was the main culprit, but there were loads on there after it connected to the internet after the initial attack!

Thats not quite true, a lot of the viruses etc are made out of spite for Bill Gates and the profiteering he has done, also to show that windows aint really the best.

ChiangMai noon · 11-12-2008, 07:29 PM

any case, it would hardly be the whole world if it was just TD users.

having made the switch to linux, I am left wondering why everybody else doesn't.

different class of Operating system....far superior.

Amazing. I clicked on the Thai Ministry of Defense Web site and got a big warning about the danger of infection from the site.
