Viruses get ahold of anything they can and destroy. I have been playing neopets on my mac since I have gotten it and never had anything like this show up. Then, about twenty minutes later, while on Safari, the malware came up on it Again, I closed it out, knowing it was a real virus attempting to act as a fake anti-virus program. Is anyone else experiencing these problems with 'fake' anti-virus trying to 'protect' you from 'malware' and that is what it really is? This is a bit troubling, I don't want them to get ahold of my information, and not just neopets. So, I just closed Firefox out completely. Then, about twenty minutes later, while on Safari, the malware came up on it! Again, I closed it out, knowing it was a real virus attempting to act as a fake anti-virus program. So, I just closed Firefox out completely. It was pretending to be an Apple ran file, but I knew it wasn't based on two facts: one that I had just saw something like this a few weeks ago, and two Macs aren't prone to viruses the way that PCs are. Well, today I was playing neopets on my computer and I am switching between Safari and Firefox in an attempt to see which one will work faster with my Habitarium and when I was logged in on Firefox, the threats of this fake malware came thorugh on firefox. I was just baffled that neopets had this malware, and I didn't think that it could have been from neopets, mainly because I have never had any problems with it from my laptop (which is a mac, by the way). Luckily, my step-dad was also over with us and he worked at a computer store in his past and was able to fix it.

There was nothing I could do, it literally just took over and she couldn't do anything.

Well, I was playing neopets like any other normal day and then this 'malware' began downloading itself onto her computer. Alright, so a few weeks ago, I was over at my grandma's (funny thing is, I am over at her house right now!) and she has a PC and it doesn't have the latest anti-virus software.
