Not having much luck getting back on, trying a system restore now hoping it works....ok seems good, doing full AV check with F-secure. Sorry, but think mediafire, that file may be compromised?
Just d/l file without any problem...scanned individual file then complete system, again no problem.

I'd be checking history of usage regarding sites visited...that's all I can suggest.

I'm not familiar with mediafire, does it often ask you to type out the chatacters before allowing you to continue to press download? I've not been anywhere else apart from the usual trusted sites such as subsim, wondering if it's been a hack in mediafire? Going to try and get online and chat with my AV provider. Thanks for checking, hopefully it won't happen to anyone else

When I click on the links I've posted I'm never asked to type in any characters

@Uboatman

I can confirm what Jim says, I have no need to enter characters on mediafire either. Something sounds fishy.

Best regards.
