So yesterday for the Walking Dead I figured I would order some pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut. After checking out usually a popup happens saying something about pizza. This time two popups happen and they are porn sites!
(My wife looks at me like what are you doing)[Rant1]
I click out of the porn sites and a message appears "What the F___ are you looking at, you got your pizza didn't you?" Click out of that and another message comes up "Debit cards? Don't worry I will take care of those."
I click out of that and shut off my internet. Run system restore to last week and run my antivirus. Nothing.. Go to craigslist working fine.. Then I decide to send a nice email to pizza hut..
They have no email only an online form that uses Java... So i figured whatever I am sending a complaint.. Go on there and started to type out what happened and my words magically start to delete and type out mother f_____ and other stuff. I clicked out of my internet and reinstalled my OS... I am pretty sure it was just something on their site.. but man was that creepy.
I don't go to weird sites and don't look at porn.. So I have had to worry about very few viruses. That really makes you feel unsafe online. Makes me want to call in orders, not do online banking or billpay. Has this happened to you?

Wow, I haven't had that happen, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for that type of BS. Thanks for the heads up.

Likely it's your computer that's infected. AV isn't perfect. I ordered some pizza hut recently online and had no such nonsense.
Why not just call it in? Also I would check with your bank to make sure there isn't any suspicious activity...

I agree.. it has to be a malware in your PC. Keylogger is a bitch. Where is byte strike when need one.

thanks guys I reinstalled my Operating System so I should not have any problems again unless I get another virus right?
Oh wait I know why you didn't call it in...you don't have a phone anymore! [ROFL1]
get a firewall
A firewall will prevent someone from logging into his system, but it won't do anything to stop malware.
Besides, most routers nowadays have firewalls in them already that you can configure.
My suggestions to avoid malware- Comcast provides free A/V for all of their customers (6 licenses I believe), and run a browser other than IE. I've been running chrome for a long time and haven't had a single bug.

When I cleared my HD and reinstalled my OS I deleted IE and installed Chrome.. actually.. I was running Norton before and I now switched to McAfee, both with firewall security.. I bought the additional McAfee Internet Security add on as well.. Hopefully this will not happen.. the only thing I can think of is that something in the java add on pizza hut made me download from their site activated the keylogger.. IDK..
It wasn't Java. It can be a website you visit, or an ad you see online, that would trigger downloading some malware.
A lot of that crap comes from ads that some sites have on them. I run adblock to block out all that crap.

It hides most ads on most webpages. You never see 'em

thanks downloaded and installed..
any other suggestions for chrome?
Angry Birds :)
I just run that, the cyanide and happiness widget (comics) and my theme. Everything else just got old for me. Password bank is built in, and you can sync chrome along all your computers (theme, addons, favorites, passwords, etc.), so everytime you use another of your machines, it's the exact same.
Oh, you may want to add any forums you visit to your pop up exceptions. It screws me up when I don't see PM notifications.

sounds to me like you actually had someone on remote access.
often times someone will plant a trojan in a free game and when you install it, you also allow remote access.
how many of you read the TOS?
long and short, Nuke and pave is the safe bet... always
I didn't even know you could order pizza on-line. [Coffee]

You can order it from inside many MMO (Massive Multi-player Online) games. Never even leave everquest and get a pizza delivered.

thanks guys.. I always order pizza online we get the $10 how you want it pizza, so I get all meat and my wife gets her veggies and bacon.. Nice to get half what she wants and half what I like and only $10..
Chrome is pretty sweet. I have always been a IE fan and ran Norton add-in, but getting hacked was not fun.. I don't download games or anything so I don't really know where it came from..

Unless you get extra lucky and it's hiding in your MBR, or if you wipe that too, hiding in your BIOS. Good times.

No, I meant that you should detonate a thermo nuclear Device in your livingroom and then pave that part of the state...
So your suggestion for him is to go out and get a whole new machine?

What was the problem with America? Wow! This reminds me of the South Park Worlds of Warcraft episode.

Haha no fortunately those are sort of rare.

Don't forget to install Microsoft Security Essentials if you're running a registered copy of Windows. I personally can't stand McAfee or Norton and as paid services they don't even work as well as MSE which is free. Run Firefox instead of IE and make sure it's up to date as well.
All this being said.... none of this matters if you give them permission to install this stuff on your PC. Think about that before you install stupid free games and open attachments in forwarded emails. Educate yourself on what is and isn't a virus as well as how most are transmitted, add the aforementioned software helpers and you will have a much lower likelihood of being compromised.

MSE is the best anti-virus I've used thus far. It's very quiet, integrates well with Windows, and has the smallest footprint I've seen from AV.
We even use it at work since we count under MS' "personal/private" licensing for it.
Someone likely installed a backdoor-type malware program on your machine, probably through a disguised download. Do you have any kids or anyone else using that computer?
I used to have a lot of fun with Sub7 back in middle school...
