I got it too. It started sending people in my email lists a link to a Canadian Pharmacy. One of my dumb *** friends even ordered stuff. He thought if I sent it to him, then it must be safe. I will be running Malwarebytes today. Not blaming Toby though, this stuff just happens.

[QUOTE=George Wright;242235]The avi video file does not contain the virus. The virus is in one of the popups that comes up when you are trying to download the video file.

Here is what my virus detection software found:

An intrusion attempt by 66.150.14.87 was blocked....HTTP Adware Installer File Download,"66.150.14.87, 80",
origin-ics.clickpotato.tv/IC/GPLCPLite40/14142/1/f01a706d-ee3c-4312-ae26-1ce2e46293fb/XvidSetup.exe

I was able to block it and still download the avi file. Great video.Thanks Toby!

Ditto!! Mine caught it and blocked it.

Joe, if im not mistaken anti-vira is a virus program i used to use it in the past. maybe u have it installed at some point in time. i also had the same problem as most of u, but i use microsoft security essentials and it took it away instantly. u may want to try it, if u do install it disable or uninstall ur othe virus program first. u can download windows clean up installer from microsoft. u can get rid of any programs u dont want or need from that window. or u can do as Toby mentioned restart in safe mode tap f8 key on restart and safe mode with networking. take it one step further in there run system restore, just back it up to yesterday and let it do its thing. hope this helped. Toby we all appreciate ur live froms and videos, thanks.

I got it too. My AVG got most of it and my computer guy cleaned up the remains with Malware. (SP?) He commented that most of what you get is really not a virus, but someting to secretly take control of certain functions of your computer.

Jim Storms · 02-25-2011, 09:26 PM

Toby.. i got the same virus, now my computer has pop up adds when it comes on...

hemidup · 02-25-2011, 09:34 PM

I almost got it. Click to see the vids and the advertisement pop up's started. After I couldn't keep up with closing the first few, I crashed my computer. My reaction time was about 1.5 seconds.

Adger Smith · 02-25-2011, 09:36 PM

Jim,
I bet one of them is from "Potato head" Or something like that.
Bob,
Justin says the reason some get it and some don't is the way your anti virus works. You probably got it and the type protection you had blocked it or quietly removed it.

Are you using AVG? It looks like AVG has been known to give a false positive on CCCP before.

If there were really a virus in CCCP, don't you think everybody that dowloaded it would be getting a virus?

I use Norton, like I said I don’t think it was anything you did and I like everyone else I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. I don’t use the Windows media player I use something else I do have double firewall and my security is set pretty tight Norton did not like it so I just stopped the download. I did not pick up a virus or experience any other problems.

Jim, have u ever run a system restore. u can fix it fast that way. if u need instructions email me ill explain.

Adger Smith · 02-25-2011, 10:30 PM

Joe,
I'm for sure it wasn't anything Toby did. Yes, I run AVG and it let me start the download and then stopped it. It did let part of the Malware through. My guy said it was not a virus, just straight Malware. He said he had seen it before.
He spotted some of the corrupt files just going through my puter. He told me that most of us just buy a virus protection and that is why some of it gets through. We need Malware protection. More of it now than in the past.
