Does this count as a virus: I think I was torrenting Avira Pro? and I ran the installer, installer gave me a "fake" Anti-Virus thing along with other security things.

Also, the program created a shortcut to Gay Porn on my Desktop =/

You probably copied the links for later use ;o

...a scholarship I'll never win because of that last part :P

Got the same thing just when I started my computer today.

AVG removed it easily, actually. If I get it again I'll probably use that Malware Remover or something...

On OldSider, some guy said he had some new Zelda pics or something and it was actually a link to a pop-up window that moved around the screen with a very disturbing picture on it, and since it was moving so much, it was very hard to close.
Another one that I didn't get but almost got. I was just on the internet, and randomly, some "virus scan" pops up, it was a new window which showed the file of "My Computer" or something like that, and under each folder it said how many viruses I supposedly had, I almost believed it, but then I realized that my folders look VERY different than that since I have Windows Vista. It happened twice.

Some malware a few months ago before Christmas. Though that was how I learned about rootkits...

OH wait, I remember my last virus! I remember Avast! wasn't able to protect me from a virus I got from an ad from bleachportal.net

Then I later find out nothing was capable of removing it I had to hunt it down and destroy it myself.

I really cannot remember the last time I had a virus on my computer.

I make it a habit not to be a dumbass.

The one time a month I visit 4chan happened to be the time a virus got loose.

AVG found a trojan the day after my visit.

Never, because I'm not a dumb intercourse who goes around looking at gay porn and clicking ads like the rest of you.

And I have a mac.

Macs are too useless to have viruses.

Trojan.CWS. Which is really annoying seeing I keep getting them, that or my anti-virus program isn't getting rid of it.
