Thread: On speed(computer threat)???

Yes friends,, this is shocking for many of you, who use onspeed for making their dialups work like broadband...

i am attaching the image file which will show you how my pc detected an unknown virus when i logged on to onspeed accelerator to IE.

as soon i was going through one of the threads the network was closed automatically and an unknown virus (something written in chinese or Taiwaniese in the southen most left of my deskscreen)

the IE stopped working and i switched on to task manager to kill this...my avira also saw this and asked me to delete it..so i did..

how so i was safe cause of anitivira in my pc but many of you may be still going on old viruses and working hours on onspeed...


so be aware of the threat it posses...

may internet be a peaceful place for you amin!!!

chinese or taiwaniese virus

i have a big problem of coming on any decision without thinking on it

maye be you are right


but how to disable them???

hweva, i think its the onspeed, because when it doesnt connect , it takes you to an anonymous search site (something like vmn.net or something...)

Just uninstall those toolbars from add/remove... it is definitely something installed that is writing that there. And to be safer start using firefox.

That only proves that the problem is not with onspeed !!

When u switch off onspeed browser cannot access net untill u restart it, so you get that error. That goes for any website.

Anyways its upto you to decide whether you wanna use it or not. Its workin fine for me over 20 days

vmn.net is a browser exploit I think. The problem have something to do with one of the plugins or tool-bars you have installed in IE. It's best to scan computer with Spybot or Ad-aware.

i got a virus threat just today.....

avira caught it red handed....it was a adtool...

actually dont know how to disable them....

are they in prg files???

by the way your answer is in my above reply...

Format your PC and start using firefox... and stop clicking on ok without reading the whole thing and stop downloading images and videos from unknown sources.

And also keep your windows updated.

wouldnt it be better if we install a security suite instead of formating the pc & then reinstalling every thing.

In case these toolbars irritate you then delete the registry keys & the files of these toolbars & reinstall your browser.
