Thank god for Avast
I was browsing a polish site (in English) for a game series called 18 Wheels of Steel (a trucking simulation), when I suddenly got an installation window for something called "Trusty Anti-Virus". Naturally, that set off the ALAAAARM bells, so I unplugged the network lead, ran task manager, and spotted at least 6 suspicious processes, which I ended immediatley. Then I started Avast! Anti-virus, which scans your running memory before loading up, and it detected the little son of a bitch that infected my computer. Then it offered a boot time scan (when nothing is running, like ChkDsk) which it is now performing.
I know it was just that site, because this laptop has been connected the whole time and has gotten nothing. (Does wireless affect the transmission of viruses?)
