I went to FPSBanana yesterday, clicked on the skins topic then my AntiVirus popped up saying that it had spotted a "HEUR/HTML.Malware" virus on my computer. I supposedly deleted it, went to grab some lunch then got back on my computer. I then went to the SAME place and it popped up the same thing again. i supposedly deleted it again and went to test out the skins i had downloaded on TF2. I get in game then my computer crashes saying something about a "bad Kernel" i restart my computer and come to find out that Malware is a boot loader virus. it was changing the settings in my BIOS so luckly i have a backup HDD on my computer that i was able to format and use and get myself back up and running today. the other harddrive is completly useless now because i cant format it or anything. This is just a warning about that site i know for a fact this is what it was cause from. Go to that site at your own risk, because it may happen to you
sorry for the super long post and if this is in the wrong section please forgive me and move it
 
What do you mean you can't format it? Put it as a slave, just don't go into it and open any files. I miss Dos, used to format, partition so nicely. If not put is as a master and use the Windows setup Disc to install windows. When you do erase the partition, make a new one and do a full format. Best thing is if you have an old Windows 98 or ME CD use the command in dos format D:\ \all. Been a long time since i used dos for that. You can get NT Dos and do it, but should not waste a drive cause its bugged. How big is the drive? The cleanest format is to try and load Linux or Unix. Should wipe everything clean, i mean everything. What anti virus are you using?
 
nope cant do that tried it, it is making the computer think that the HDD is only 2.4 GB large, and it fluctuates between1-4GB...yeah dont ask why that is what i mean by it wont let me format, it doesnt matter much anyway i just put a new one in there
 
Dos should see the right side. Some BIOS comes with an option to write zeros to the entire HD. Takes a long time, but every sector is zeroed, whipes all information off.
 
First that sucks sorry to hear bout that. Ive had boot sector problems not related to a virus just installed one too many boot loades. My recommendation is grab this tool burn to disk and run it.

You can run a basic wipe on your drive and it will wipe everything aand should get it back to normal .
One thing i recommend is unplugging your good hard disk. That way you dont accidentaly erase it.
 
well ty for the help, but i have an uncle who works for NCIS who is going to take a look at it and track where the virus came from and try to stop it, i will try that idea soulnothing ty

It is a nice idea, but it might not work or ruin the HD if he does it wrong. Besides you need a high grade magnet which he might not have access to. Good thinking though.
 
it is a place to get skins, scripts, sprays, and stuff for Valve and other games
