Same here so I copied the URL of the file I wanted to download, into a download manager prog (Download Accelerator Plus) and I was able to download both HijackThis and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Ran both and they claim the virus was cleaned but I still can't get back on the net and I'm not sure the virus is totally gone. When I get motivated, I'll do the data backup/scan to an external drive and then start from scratch again.

that's what I did as well.

I'm back up and running now. And all my files (not programs, but pics and music and such) were saved, thank god.

I found this website surfing through trying to find a fix for this virus, as I could not go to most any anti-virus website. I hope this helps anyone within this forum or stumbles across it the same way I did.

I got this virus today and finally got it taken out around 5 hours later. It is a relatively new virus (about 1-2 months old as of Jan. 2009), so if you do not have updated definitions no scanner will catch it. Here is a file I uploaded of malwarebytes http://rapidshare.com/files/179226641/mbam-setup.exe.html anti-virus software. This link will only allow 10 downloads and/or will expire in 90 days. If for some reason it is already expired when you come across it, use another computer to get the program from malwarebytes.org It was updated on Dec. 3rd, so the definitions within should/will be new enough to get rid of it. You will NOT be able to update your definitions, so a if this does not find it, that does not mean this software is crap. If you can get updated definitions installed manually, you may find your fix that way.

Do NOT run this in windows normally. Boot to safe mode by hitting F8 while your computer is booting up. Select safe mode (do not choose with networking or command prompt). Then install the program and run it. Mine took about 25 minutes to run and found roughly 19 variants of this virus.

Once you are clean, make sure you update your Java software and turn on all your Windows Updates, Windows Firewall, and Windows Anti-virus features this virus turned off. Make sure you always keep Windows up-to-date, I know it seems annoying to constantly have to do it, but it will keep you from having to spend a whole Saturday getting your computer up so you can get on nfl.com on Sunday.

Good luck getting your fix up and running. If you need anymore help with this just post here and I'll do what I can to help.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
