GIMP

>>Toad85
Then either your AntiVirus sucks, or you've downloaded from a very wrong site.
 
>>Toad85
Did you go to www.gimp.us.com or www.gimp.org ??
The bolded one is the official site, I don't know what the other one is. I'd rather not want to find out.
 
I believe it was gimp.org. I don't know if the virus actually came from the GIMP website, but I downloaded it, and a day later, Boom! virus.

A day later, boom, you got a virus from something else and decided to blame GIMP.
 
Well, the only things I did between GIMP and Virus are youtube and mariowiki.com. And those, according to my Anti-Virus software, are very trusted sites. And if it happened before GIMP, it would have been that day, not the next one.

I'm not blaming GIMP itself. I'm blaming whatever idiot placed a virus in my system as I was trying to download it.

If you get a virus, the idiot is you.

You are so funny that I'm not laughing
 
You probably need better security/protection. You can get malware/whatever you want to call it by using Google Images. It's not Google's fault. You're innocently looking for toucan pictures and when you click for full resolution, it redirects you to a spam site.

That was just an example - you can get infected files from just about anything.

I have McAfee. You should get that. I think it's the best one out there. It came free with my computer :D

Actually, that's what I have. McAfee Internet Security, to be exact. It came free with mine as well, or at least I wasn't the one who paid for it.

Every ICT Specialist knows the following word: PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair).
So yeah, the doctor is right about that.

I see you have McAffee, it's just known to all ICT Specialists to be the worst AntiVirus Software ever made.

Oh, and GIMP.us.com is definitely fake:

I think Norton is worse.

But they're both bad (well intrusive/memory hogging/ineffective/hard to get rid of)
 
I don't use any AntiVirus Software, because I never download "Ali Illegaali", and stuff like that.
I'm managing my parent's and customer's PC's with either Avast 4.8, or MalwareBytes.
PC's with Avast are usually my oldest customers, as I've switched to MalwareBytes later on.

Yes McAfee and Norton are HORRIBLE!
My home computer has Avast! and I really like it (it would tell you if you ran into a site with a trojan horse or virus on it). Also my laptop has Kaspersky, which is pretty good.
 
My friend's work uses Synamptic, but that's because they can easily push it to their customers, having computers on a long distance.
He just clicks like 3 times, and it's automatically installed, scanned, etc., without the customers to worry about.

I'm not as rich to buy expensive Windows Servers, so I'm usually running AntiVirus Software through TeamViewer, after I asked them through the phone to turn on their computer at [INSERT TIME HERE].
 
McAfee is not horrible NQ. Norton is though.

I used to have MalwareBytes on my other computer, but my computer was too messed up to run it :P
 
I use Avast but I had to install it without any of the web reputation garbage.

In fact the only ones I left checked were file, script and behavior shields. I also turned off sounds (especially the robot voice overs) and left it in permanent silent/gaming mode so it doesn't have a heart attack when I try to run my own games.

McAffee also sees virusses that are no virusses at all.
