Help! /vanguard site don give me pc virus o!
I opened this link - http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/02/lion-on-rampage-kills-two-in-yobe/ - and my antivirus screamed!!!

Avast blocked the malicious file then ,it seems.

^^^^Are you sure? So my pc is not going to die?

nna, remember when I thought that your site had given me a virus? I guess it was either vanguard or UK's Sun newspaper (a site i used to frequent a lot). As a result of that virus, my lappie has been out of commission for at least 3 days a week for the past month. As we speak, it has gone back to the shop though this time, I am demanding that the hard drive be completely replaced.

. . .and yep, I did have the latest AV definitions. In speaking with the guy helping me clean up, he says that hackers have even found a way to go around google such that a mere google search could download a virus without you knowing. He strongly advised that I use yahoo or bing.

A word is enough for the wise.

This is serious men. I believe that ones you said a google search can download a virus - i experimented something out of curiosity - and yes, the guy may most likely be corrected (99% chance of being correct actually). I will conclude that experiment soonest to see how it goes (but i expect google to somehow stop the virus).

you are stealing nairaland's traffic with that your google cheat, you are doing many things behind bars, why wouldnt you catch a worm or malware.

^^^I know i steal traffick from many places, but what do you mean by behind bars and google cheat
Anyway, according to our analysts here, i managed not to catch the worm - i disconnected my browser very quickly with ALT+F4 immediately after making the screencapture as evidence.
