avast saved my life (or i think it did)

So i was searching up things to make it so i can give my self stuff like robux illegitimately on a website i play about called roblox and i got to a site that says “how to hack robux” i go onto it and i see 2 ads saying my computer is about to crash click OK to fix it, and a face book ad. So as soon as i saw those avast say’s there’s a virus i click fix and it fix’s it at the same time sending me to the avast site saying basically what the 2 ads said “your computer was about to crash.” The reason i posted this was because i thought it was funny considering thee 2 ads where right, when usually the ad’s are malware making it seem like it’s going to crash your pc when it isn’t really going to crash and want to make you click it, unless they where malware and telling me that it’s going to crash it click OK to make it crash faster. So i’m literally laughing right there looking at what avast says thinking about the two ad’s.

if you have not rebooted since it happend, right click avast tray icon…show last popup

Going to sites that supply hacks/cracks for software are renown for being infected, avast may have saved your butt, you might also still be infected so I would suggest following the advice by Pondus.

Also read the stickies in the viruses and worms section of the forum and supply the necessary logs for one of the malware experts to look over.

Try to surf more wisely next time and don’t use illegally obtained software, note that if you have illegal software installed on your system you will not be able to receive assistance.

i actually don’t believe there’s any hacks for roblox i was only searching if there was either a “legit” one or a “working” one if there was i’d be amazed if there wasn’t i’d say it in the forums. Yes i am cautions after that i’m not dumb enough i run avast along with spy bot. And remember i posted this forum because of how funny it was so i had to share it, not get help other wise this would be in another section am i wrong?

I don’t see show last popup, i actually have 2 avast web plugins to help protect me, but i didn’t restart and it’s not there.

You could post the link to the site that yout tried to access when avast alert popped up…post the site URL in hxxp format :slight_smile:
