I haven't been able to google any sort of virus that's known to do something like this and Avast! didn't find anything, anybody have a clue what's going on?  --------------------  | ||||

Try a different Antivirus software. Free ones are shit, if you can afford it get Norton or Kaspersky. If all else fails, I use a system restore. It's the worst way possible to get rid of viruses but it's worked twice for me so far. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||

I've tried several different antivirus programs and none of them have found anything, and nothing else has been acting strangely. At this point I'm just wondering if it was a practical joke sort of thing that deleted itself after making a cute Matrix reference.  -------------------- | ||||

Example of what was in two of them. I'm completely clueless and the internet isn't helping much here. -------------------- | ||||

Now to figure out how they got there. -------------------- | ||||
