Apparently, it’s a virus because this rogue called Windows PC Defender went live, infecting thousands upon thousands of PCs. I was making an excuse for downloading a patch to my Sims 2 game. I told her it’s a patch for Windows, for Windows Defender and it can free up memory so the PC is faster. She freaked out saying it is a virus, now she is gonna scan the system. Without her permission, I download Malwarebytes to remove this rogue AV called Vista Antimalware 2010. MBAM helped me through all of it, so my mom ended up scanning the PC with Spyware Doctor. Spyware Doctor ended up deleting my Sims 2 game, saying it was Zlob. What the heck? I ended up having to reinstall Sims 2 and putting the files on Spyware Doctor’s ignore list. How do I convince my mom otherwise that it isn’t a virus? Apparently it has been hacked, and she saw it on the news one morning. She has no proof. I don’t think she knows that we Americans go by innocent until proven guilty. She confused it with Windows (Insert dramatic name here) Defender, a rogue AV. Surprisingly, it looked similar to Vista Antivirus Pro, an infection I got from entering a search term on The Pirate Bay back in February.
She said she’s scanning again. But yeah.. I admit, I won a copy of Windows 7 for free as a private torrent, it is shared with only me. See, you gotta enter this very hard to crack password (Hint, it has about 100 letters, so I had the guy put it on my flash drive to my computer so I could see the code, very clever) This guy had written proof this was legal, and it was signed by Bill Gates. It is 2.7 GB, but we do have 362 GB of memory anyway.
Getthegame, I use Windows Defender, and MBAM. MBAM saved me from Zlob, Conficker, Koobface, and Zeus.
Any of you guys seen anything on the news about the antispyware being "hacked?" Once you are done with the question, please answer this question also.
Yeah, I admit, my cousin was stupid to upload stuff to The Pirate Bay that I needed for school. This PC is gonna be 2 years old soon, and I’m considering an upgrade to Windows 7. Me and my mom are administrators, and my brothers are the ones who are looking for free pornography and all that crap. My brothers are 12 and 19. They download the most viruses. The pirate bay thing was the first time I gave the computer a virus, but it was an accident, it wasn’t my fault because it was from a popup, noscript didn’t block it.
Also, my brother was on this morning, the 12 year old one, looking for underage nude girls. He ended up getting a keylogger, which out of all the AV’s we have, Malwarebytes could detect it. Malwarebytes has a very high detection rate, but it doesn’t detect Eicar for some reason. BTW, malwarebytes is worth the money.
Also, for a 14 year old I’m very experienced at computers. I can write advanced programs, and I’m a computer hacker. So yeah, I know what I am doing, I’ve been using computers since I was 4. By age 6, I created my first program. Age 9, I created my first internet browser. Age 11, I made a BSOD trigger compatible with Vista in its beta mode. Age 13, I made an antivirus. Age 14, here I am. I shown her how it works this morning, it detected some trojans, it came from my brother’s account, the 19 year old one, and it detected 2 pieces of spyware. We were able to remove them. And of course, not all Antiviruses are perfect. New malware is made everyday. Malwarebytes detected Trojan.Agent and Rogue.Noadware. I don’t see how Noadware is rogue though. Anyways, I removed them both.
And if you are gonna call me a troll, then you’re an idiot because you’d have no proof. In fact, maybe YOU are a troll yourself! Wait, how can I prove that? I can’t.
