Virus on z8games?
Well every few days when browsing the z8games site/forums I get randomly redirected to another website about some kind of antivirus. I know a lot of other people that have experienced this too. Ive never had a problem with it before coz i just close the page or click back and it goes away, but today it started doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
After I closed the browser, I re-opened it and it wouldnt let me go to any website, it just come up with a message about needed to scan my computer. So, I rebooted my pc... Then once everything is loaded, my desktop background has changed to a green colour with a black logo on it, in big red letters it says 'YOUR SYSTEM IS INFECTED!' or something like that. I then start getting all kinds of popups about worms and trojans being active on my computer. Everytime I close them, they reappear 5 seconds later. I try to open task manager but it says it has been disabled. I try to re-open internet explorer, another error. I took a screenshot of the errors so I could post them here but again... I couldnt even open paint to save the screenshot. Went to run > msconfig so I could close down and programs on startup and reboot but again, I get an error about trojans.
I rebooted, went into safe mode and from there it let me into msconfig. Im now able to use programs without getting the errors but im still getting the message on my desktop, unable to use internet and task manager. Without internet I cant even get access to an antivirus so im on my 2nd pc atm downloading 1 then I can install it onto the other pc. If I manage to get the problem fixed then I will post up 2 pics of the error messages that I managed to screenshot.
I know this has happened to a few people before, just wondering why z8games have done nothing to fix it?

Kinda the same thing that happened to me, except I wasnt sleeping so it only happened once :P
My first thought was to do a system restore, but of course, it was also disabled like task manager
