I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Well that got your attention didn't it?

But it's not true, what really happened was something like this:-


I recently bought a new P.C. I've kept my old one going for long enough and had to admit the amount of components that I would have to buy to get it to run the way I wanted meant finally I would have to get a new one.

I won't bore you with the specs they are what I think are right for me.

This new P.C. came with Norton installed and a years subscription for firewall anti-virus etc, etc.

Norton being Norton, well to be honest I don't like it, it spends too long telling me what a good job it's doing rather than doing the job, (not like the free stuff on my old P.C.).

Anyway I got a pop up that sneaked through, 'install a free sex passport', and was asked what I wanted to do about it.

DELETE, REMOVE, OBLITERATE, do whatever you have to I just don't want it was what I thought I had pressed.

All was well until I switched on the following day and a pop up appeared demanding £30 for the porn I had enjoyed!!!!

I did not click on anything on that screen, I pressed Ctrl, Alt, del and told my system to shut it down.

I then started to search, Norton found NOTHING.

I then searched the web and found this page, pc advisor
If you get a problem with demands from, MicroBillSystems the advice from fhiufhyrefyer does work, just read through it a few times before you attempt to use it.


I think I'll be getting rid of Norton very soon, I don't want any similar problems, (though I've heard Norton is a bit of a begger to remove itself these days!):D

had same problem got rid now but have a trojen called zlob i have tried everything and cant get shut.

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I know i wish i'd spent the night watching some porn.I was up at 2am with sod all to do,hoping the devil would make work for these idle hands.:D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

The above quote is from someone else that had this problem but it seems that had my new P.C. been running avg as my old P.C. was doing, perhaps I wouldn't have had the problem in the first place?

Now where is that uninstall button for norton I think I have some urgent work to carry out.
:(

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

You'll be luck to uninstall Norton. Ginger had a problem with it the other day, he got slightly miffed off and tried deleting it. After a while full system crashed and had to be formatted ........ good luck :rolleyes:

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

YOu can't just go deleting stuff as its integrated into windows system files so it can't find dependancies and Windows itself falls over. What sort of OS lets user programs get so tightly in the core OS files eh?

Less, do the uninstall from add/remove progs, install your shiny free stuff, then have a quick look for stuff Norton has left behind and firstly rename the folder, if it screws up you just need to boot with a Linux live cD and rename it back to get your system back. if its fine after a couple of weeks consider deleting at that point.

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I like this quote from the page you linked Less.Since when have you had to shop at Asda to visit sex sites? :D :D :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I go there to watch all the women slap their bums and rattle their change!!!:)

(Walks away whistling, 'That's ASDA price').:s_whistl:

Try http://www.prevx1.com for spyware etc removal. It has a 30 day free trial. It did the business for my Dad when he had problems.

I'm not clicking that it's probably for viagra over the net, anyway who told you about my problems?:eek:

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I just want to ask ........ how come it's only men who get these problems ;) I've never yet 'accidentally' :D fallen into a porn site or had porn trojans

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Thats cos Mthead hasn't been over using your pc:D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

EXACTLY!!! :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

If you read some of the posts in the link, you'll find some of them are from women. pc adviser

As for falling 'accidentally' into a porn site, I'm a guy that lives on his own, doesn't share his P.C. with anyone else so I suppose if I wanted porn sites on here I could have them without upsetting anyone else.

However I wouldn't pay £30 for real sex with a woman so I am not interested in having my P.C. clogged up with third rate virtual sex at such an extortionate price so I try to avoid such sites but sometimes a link isn't what you think a link is going to be and the swines then, if they manage to get onto a P.C. are trying to blackmail you to get rid of them.
Fortunately It won't work with me so I can talk about this embarrassing problem without it being a cause of concern to me or anyone around me.:cool:

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I can confess to having once accidentally fallen into a porn site. :D I had been asked by the Accrington Observer to interview Kieran Duffy (formerly of Boyzone) for the paper so I was doing some research. I typed Boyzone into google and I got quite a few sites so innocently clicked into a few of them - I was a bit shocked. :eek: I had to check them out thoroughly, purely from a journalistic perspective of course.

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I bet it's women who let men use their pc ;)


What about £29.99 then? I heard it's good marketing practice to knock a penny off the round number, supposedly it looks like your getting a better deal for your money :D

Anymore emarassing problems you'd like to share? I'm in the mood for a good giggle ;) :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

That is a genuine link. Posting links to dodgy sites is against the rules.

That £29.49 more than you used to charge :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

its gone up with inflation:D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Thats a lot of inflation, can she take it?

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

ommmmmmmmm i cant say, she's mi mate lol

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Well I'd like to know what you brought back to this site Less after your supposed foray into the virtual world of porn??? :rolleyes:

Today I couldn't access accyweb on my lunch break as it was blocked saying "PORN DETECTED" :eek:

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I just hate it when popups come up when your not there , you leave your seat and youve been on a music website or something and next minute youve made a brew and youve got an offer , offering you porn and your like i hope no-one else so this looking around. Quickly deleting history so the rest of the family wont think youve been on anything dirty but then you get suspicious about someone else going on the computer the next day and it will pop-up! Lol :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

Nobody ever offers me any porn - mind you when we were on aol I used to get IMs from 'sexy suzy' or 'lucious lucy' offering me excitement beyond my wildest dreams. It must be the name 'Wil' that does it. :D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

If thats the case perhaps that explains why I, Les' get offered a lot of pictures about ladies playing friendly with other ladies!:eek:

Poor old Roger, all he wants to look at is football, when will he get the chance?:D

Re: I spent a night looking at porn.....
 

I knew we would still be missing Chav, he would have made you an offer I am sure. ;)
