I\'m no Sys Admin, but I am a certified microcomputer service technician. And from what I know it\'s pretty impossible to get a virus from a message board. Unless the person who wrote the board software intentionally put some kind of script in there, which I highly doubt.
Virus\'s come from email attachments and questionable websites. Most notably porn sites. There\'s also a huge trojan virus loose on the internet right now, wierd name, begins with an \'H\' I think, like \'herkel\' or something like that. It\'s infecting millions of machines. It\'s not coming from this site.
Download LimeWire Pro then download all the free and cracked spyware/antivirus programs you can find. Also try system mechanic and those types of softwares. These are like 100 dollar programs you can download for free through LimeWire.
Run everything you can on your system, if you still can\'t get it back the way you want it. Backup everything important, save your downloaded virus/spyware programs on CD and erase your harddrive and reinstall windows. After you got windows running install all your virus software and spyware blockers, get your firewall up and running, and try connecting to the internet again.
The internet is getting ridiculous. now matter how much I do to protect my pc, it still gets hopelessly infected every few months and I gotta start over. So I no longer keep personal or really important stuff on the computer. 99% of all virus and bug exploiting spywares are written and aimed specifically at PC\'s and thier built in weakness\'s and holes. Lets face it. Microsoft sucks and uses the consumer as beta testers for thier software. When users start getting trashed computers, that\'s when Microsoft goes, \'hey? we got a problem!\' and THEN they release a patch or bug fix.
And if you browse the internet using Internet Explorer? Good friggin luck. You might as well just copy a virus directly to your harddrive. Cuz I.net Explorer is a damn sick joke. Worse browser ever with the worse security.
