I doubt this is the best place for this, but I hope to reach as many people as possible about a new and really bad adware virus out there. The mods may want to move this to another place, but I hope to reach as many folks out there as I can.
The only thing we know right now is that it connects to IDS adware protection. It gives you a blue screen with a 'you've been infected' warning.
My wife got this thing without knowing how. Unlike me, she is computer savvy. Suddenly, her computer started rebooting. She severed the internet connection in a half-second or so and pulled the plug and removed the battery to the laptop, didn't matter.
This one is really bad. She has had to replace her hard drive.
If you do get this virus, don't force a 'safemode boot' through windows. If you do that, your computer will go into an 'endless loop', and your hard drive is history.
Until the anti-virus companies get a handle on this one, it might be a good idea to limit visits to unknown sites for a while.
Don't click on any boxes to close pop-ups. Back up all your files now. Don't wait, back 'em up asap.

No, I'm not joking.
