Thread: The malware on Original Asia stte

    The malware on Original Asia stte

    This was mentioned on one of the Carl Palmer threads, but I thought it should be pinned: Don't go to that site (esspecially not if you're on Internet Explorer, which is more vulnerable) and delete it if you have it as a bookmark. What's there appears to be the SMART virus, one of those fake-alert things that shuts your computer down (see bleepingcomputer.com or details).

    Like some people here I learned the hard way a while back (but didn't realize thats where it was). I was luckily able to get rid of it using Combo Fix after the usual fixes like Malware Bytes didn't get it.

    Of course it may be gone by now, but I am not about to check.

    Only Time Will Tell.

    But Never in a Million Years will I visit that website again.

    I mean, Open Your Eyes, Sean! That website would be like an Orchard of Mines for your computer.

    I just Wish I'd Known All Along, then I could have prevented problems.
