holy crap that thing was stealth, my muscle memory and reflexes just hit the X and installed this crap. Now I'm in for a world of hurt

anyone else have this and get rid of it- trying malwarebytes but I know that these things are getting better everyday at hiding themselves

 

so what do we look out for?

 

It's a popup that my FF didn't catch, and it was one of those Java boxes that simulates a windows box... you'll know what it is, but it's not just a harmless popup ad- all I can say is get in the habit of ctrl+alt+del the bitches instead of just hitting the X

I was expecting a "do you want to close click ok to close and cancel to continue" POS but not a malware attack

 

Turns out my adobe reader was out of control, so I investigated, apparently it ran the file through a hold in the adobe reader and downloaded the shit- heres to not downloading the update for acrobat yesterday :doh:

 

I hate Adobe reader...Foxit FTW

 

hahaha. so many people here at work got nailed with that one. it's a huge pita

 

combofix if malwarebytes' doesn't work.

 

fuck i hate spyware, just got some recently.

 

*runs adobe update

 

eh, I might just nuke my system, I've been wanting to run an ubuntu dualboot anyway, this give me good reason; pretty sure I got it all though
