Well... I am not so savvy as you. My AVG didnt catch it for some reason. I kept getting pop ups that redirects to that same site. Everytime I tried to load a file or click on a program, I wo9uld get a pop up that said csc.exe is infected and so on, would you like to install antivirus software>?
Anyway, seeing as how I am not technically savvy - after 24 hours of trying to fix the issue (I couldnt get online, the virus wouldnt let me open a single application) I ended up rebooting my computer and picking the wrong setting, and I wiped my entire computer out.
My computer is now loaded back to the day I took it out of the box. I lost MONTHS of content and other things. I just got the ability to get online, and found this thread. I quess this is where I got this from? It happened yesterday about 6pm Eastern.
-No Spell Check- I dont have Firefox reloaded, yet.
Sucks man.
Stop doing anything, and run some data recovery software asap. You definitely won't be able to recover everything, but it might be able to recover some files or parts of it. The more you use your computer the less likely it'll be able to recover anything. When data gets deleted it isn't entirely gone yet, it is mostly still recoverable, except if it gets overwritten. So it really depends on the way your windows has been recovered weather or not you can recover anything. If it was a clean install you can forget recovering.
I can't recommend you any software brand for this though, it's been years since I last used it but I once managed to recover quite some files.
Hopefully you've learned your lesson about backups.
When I saw the warning I decided to go a day without WF. Surprised at how many people just ignored it.
I never got a warning. I use Firefox, and just always leave WF loaded on a TAB. In fact, I blamed my wife for screwing up the computer, because it started happening while she was on the internet. I didnt know anyhing about this on WF, until I got my computer reloaded and found this thread.
Avast. Get it now. It's free, and it's saved my ass more times than I can count. It inspects all incoming packets and will actually terminate a connection from something trying to serve you naughty files.
When I posted the javascript the virus used into pastebin, Avast even blocked me accessing that PasteBin page...even though it couldn't execute. Quality shit.
I also recommend you recover your files NOW http://www.snapfiles.com/downloadfind.php?st=recover+deleted&action=s&search=Find+it&lc=1 . The longer you take to do it, the more old locations on the HD are overwritten, and the less you'll be able to recover.
