Possible virus floating around hmt...
So, as usual I'm on HMT this morning at work. The ONLY websites I go on while I'm working is HMT and launch.com (launchcast player through yahoo) and yahoo is 99.9% safe. I was browsing the FS forum and the only link I clicked was that 98 eclipse gs for sale. and when i clicked a thumbnail, the pic never came up and some odd imageshack page came up... Im not saying this is where I got it from, but its something to keep in mind... the virus was scanned by Norton, heres the log
Date: 11/29/2005, Time: 8:04:54, Administrator
The file
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WT2FCH67\38381[1].swf
is infected with the Bloodhound.Exploit.52 virus.
Access to the file was denied.
all you have to do is clear you temp internet files to get rid of it.... but yeah it kinda pissed me off. and lke i said, I was only on HMT this morning and have my launchcast player playing in the backround

Re: Possible virus floating around hmt...
The infected file was a shockwave flash file, most likely came from your launch website or somewhere else. In my 27 years of surfing hmt I have never once seen a shockwave flash file on this site.
Maybe a couple links to some funny swf movies, but clicking on a picture didn't give you the virus.
Now go get tested for rabies :P

You traced your viral infection to clicking on a for sale link to a ****** non-turbo DSM? What are you even doing here
You sure it wasn't the five minutes before when that strange man had you bent over your desk, doing you from behind? 
And, kain runs linux? That explains the ****...
