I got a virus by surveys.....

This isnt something new... I had to reformat my pc once because one of the surveys kept crashing explorer.exe on boot.


Btw you're going to have to remove 'DNSBASIC' from your computer else x-trap wont let you launch the game, i've had it more than enough times.

Ever since PL removed those surveys, I felt that going for free zp is no longer worth it.

You can't blame Z8 for this, it's written out for you that surveys are taken at your own risk.

You're right, we're only here to mock, scold, and pedant.

Well actually you can.

As a company they shouldn't be dealing with survey provides that don't vet their advertisers out and allow viruses and malware.

Remember most people that play this game are literally children and Z8 should take every precaution to protect them. If they are removing text quotes from the logout screen because it may cause offense then a higher priority surely is keeping their kids safe.

The surveys you take are not directly affiliated with Z8Games. They are hosted by a third party and are usually not moderated by the host or merchant.


Also, you shouldn't be downloading anything from surveys, anyway. What is this, 2003?

That's your answer.

Remvoing a virus can be done by a program called Malwarebytes, if that doesn't work try to set your Windows to a point when the virus wasn't on it yet , if that doesn't work, reinstall windows, and if that doesn't work buy a new hard drive and install windows on that hard drive.
