Recently we got hit by the newly spread virus that has been said to be fix and shut down already. Though our pc seems to be working just fine now than days ago, I still can't get over with the fact that it actually infected us almost unnoticed.
It started maybe 3-5days ago when my brother complained about his files went missing. I don't know what to answer him since I also had my fair share of complaints. When Jojo check on it, he told us that it came from my sister's USB and can't be deleted. It attacks on files by hiding it. Then I told him that yesterday it prompted that it runs out of memory so I have to close some programs and restart my pc. I still didn't know what to do since last night it totally annoyed me. I can't get sign in my facebook, I can't open my emails and this is how it looked.
I gave up after a few tries and decided to just use my phone but guess what????! I can't connect to the internet!!! Really? even the WIFI??? You gotta be kidding me :(
Until Jojo decided to just reformat the pc, reset the wifi settings and poof! back to normal, but the thing is, I have to change the password of my every accounts and I got plenty of them :(
I hope none of you is experiencing the same thing. However, please be cautious with whatever you plug in, in your pc/laptop so won't have to undergo this problem like me, kay? :)
holy grief, it must be very annoying changing all the passwords. but anwyay, why did u have to change them? was it because u forgot the passwords and used to use auto-log in?
ReplyDeletenope. I was advised to change all my passwords :)
DeleteWow it really sucks you got hit by a virus :( They're nasty things and I'm glad it got fixed, but it's a shame it had to be fixed by wiping the computer. I hope you didn't lose too many things.
ReplyDeletewhew> I'm glad I wasn't infected with this one. I was a bit worried too because it was all over the news! But I think the main reason I got away with it that Windows XP pa OS ko. hehehe. Not Windows 7.
ReplyDeletewow! thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you got this virus Mai, I wish I had some idea on how to solve it but I'm not too great at this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteMy sister called me late night Sunday and warned me saying dont open anything on Monday. Avoid any mails and so on. It was a all over the news to be careful. I just deleted everything and just kept away from pop ups too.

Luckily I seemed to miss out on the problem with all of my computers. I have a few friends that had to reset their DNS servers but nothing really severe went down. Sorry to hear you had such problems.
ReplyDeleteI had this message pop up on a few blogs I regularly visit as well. I hope your computer will be able to recover.
