Yo, dude. Can you get viruses just from viewing the images? I need to know this. You didn't answer the question. Needless to say, I won't be going there anymore if you can. I haven't used that site to make images, so I'm hoping that's how you get the virus, not from just viewing the images.
I've had a recent spat of really, really nasty programs show up on my laptop, and I really don't want to extend that to my desktop. So please, let me know man. I might have to retire from the internet entirely, if this shit continues, cause it's starting to impact my work life.
I wasn't vewing any one specific image. I had just clicked on the "Sgt Foley" tag on the far right that brings up all the Sgt Foley images that have been created. My computer started to get a little laggy, but I didn't think much of it. After navigating through about 4 pages of images (and creating a couple of my own), my internet lagged out completely and antivirus software I never recalled installing was telling me that my system was infected. So i'm not sure if it's the images, the site itself, or what.
That "antivirus" software right there, that's the problem. Open up taskmgr, stop them running. then delete them. then install some real antivirus.
I know. I tried to open task manager and control panel as well to try and remove them, but the computer wouldn't open anything.
Well there's always the get another computer option.
