So here is the said part I have been to who knows how many pourn sites and never got a spyware virus. I was looking up Call of Duty 3 quotes.
Oh well, no matter how you got it... At least it's gone! :icon_lol: was it a tracking cookie or something?
Unfortunately you can pick up a virus anywhere. 3rd party ads are a pisser. The best thing you can do is take the proper measures to insure that the chances of that happening are minimal. You're running Avast which is a very good program. What firewall are you running?
I use AVG 7.5 Free Edition, and SpyBot - Search & Destroy aswell as having Windows Firewall turned on, I hope that now this stops me from getting viruses as I haven't had one since the trojan.vundo back around Christmas time.
