I do have Norton, but it's just not fixing the damn virus. This is the third time this issue has occurred. The last one occurred just 3 weeks ago, and today I had accidently clicked the link to the website uploaded by the DEV team member, when scrolling down.
This is very depressing. My parent's lawyers will definitely be dealing with this despicable way.
Ok, in the past year or so, my desktop and laptop have been infected with virus three times, thanks to India Forums. The first time it occurred on my old desktop, but fortunately I was able to save all my essential data, so all I did was re-format the system with the assistance from the folks of Dell. Next, just three weeks ago, on my laptop that's just 5 months or so old, completely got trashed due to a virus also acquired from this despicable website. It was so nasty that my laptop would only turn on and just showcase a black screen. So I talked to Dell to ask for advice, and they wanted me to pay 130 dollars for the issue to be fixed. But then when they got to know that since the laptop itself wouldn't let me access my desktop or any files, they had told me to contact DriveSavers, which basically is a third party system that would back up my data and of course I would have to pay 200 dollars for that. I was not going to spend 300 dollars on my system altogether, so of course all my data (my University work and private data) was lost, and I ended up paying 130 dollars in order to get the system fixed.
Now, today, I was on my sister's laptop and another virus attacked the system, thanks to IF again. I aint paying shit now.
