All day yesterday i was having computer problems n still having them, its in and out of the internet, i thought maybe it was the snow storm or something messing with the internet..anyway my son's computer has a virus we picked up yesterday. autorun.inf which is obviously loading itself with windows. i found the file that is loading up but i am afraid to remove the file from the registry and file search because i dont have xp anymore to reinstall the program.. also found the trojan prun.tmp which the virus scanners have picked up and put in the vault but not deleting it from the pc..and hard to find some of the files that are invisible in the folders.. these critters ok so my son's computer is attached to a router with my pc. does anyone know if my pc can get this virus through the router?...idk, i think we share the same ip address also or is it a coinsidence that my pc is acting strange? and if anyone knows anything else about this virus/worm file autorun.inf let me know.. thanks and have a great sunday.

Quote (Menace) just give your PC a system restore erase everything and install the windows again i know its hard but thats life yea good idea on the system restore but i dont have the xp to install windows again, when i got this pc for my son it didnt come with the cd yea thats life and i know we'll get it fixed, stinks that i'm trying to save so many family pics we got in that pc and family videos and so much music that i'm trying to save because i know it will all be gone. me and my daughter tranferring 1000's of pics into photo bucket for safe keeping. just sucks we will loose everything.. i was trying to delete this virus without having to reinstall anything...:( what i wanted to know// could this be affecting my pc? both pc's are attached by a router..

i know my son's pc has had it but i wonder if its affecting my pc dam two pcs in one shot sucks, not to mention my washer just broke and my son's new psp just fell, screen is cracked, xbox is on the blinkk and my phone line is on and off well when it rains it pours.. i hate when everything breaks down at the same time.. i'm jsut venting to myself..dont mind me. i know others have it worse or have no luxaries at all but its still frustrating. i think my whole house has a virus lol i hope this virus can't affect the xbox live that is also attached to that same router..

sometimes people will send you a pm on you tube with some link to some site, but the link will download a virus to your computer.

LMFAO! Glad to see you back. We weren't sure where you were and we needed to get shit done so we made you an Emcee again, but the OG slot you held is still open if you are willing to do the tasks we ask of you like weekly, maybe a little less often, moderating the forums. The details are in the OGs/Heads forum which now no longer has a password and shows up in the new messages view. So tell me if you're up for the task and I'll turn you back into an Emcee ASAP.
