Okay, so few days ago, i got my lappie back. There's something wrong with my hard disk anyway. I lost tonnes of important files, i wonder can i use the restore files program to track back my files? Anyway, that's not the main point about this blogpost, the main point is i just encountered a really strong and stubborn virus lol.
So, guys, whenever you download something free online, think twice, is the source reliable? Or else you gonna get shit painted on your pc. Even if your pc has antivirus installed, you'll never know how strong nowadays virus may be. They undergo modification one you know. Serious la. lol.
PLEASE!!
Beware of the
MYSTART INCREDIBAR
(stupid name for a virus come search engine)
Before i start ranting about how this stupid virus caused me haedache i would like to clarify that I'm not an IT expert nor a complete noob of IT okay? Just some sharing.
First of all, what the hell is MYSTART INCREDIBAR? I don't know seriously, couple of hours ago, i downloaded some desktop theme to my pc and vuola! i got the mysterious mystart incredibar that pops up out of nowhere when i opened my browser, it look as below :
 |
| Stole from web cause i had no screenshot of it |
Now now, at first, it may seems harmless right? Looking quite decent except for the few low quality crap adverts pops up under them, i got no screenshot of it neither. But still i was wondering why la suddenly my homepage change from google to this bullshit? Okay fine, i tried using it, the search result was terrible ,lol, i don't know bout others, but to me this virus/search engine seems like a the world most useless search engine with no efficient results at all . Some more horr, it made my laptop laggy , that's when i get so annoyed ! At that moment i still didn't know mystart incredibar was a virus, not until i tried to uninstall the programes that looked suspicious and delete all the files that i have downloaded earlier on because i thought that my pc is laggy because of some virus in those downloaded files or installed programes. Finished removing everything, and still my pc is so laggy, i opened my browser again and got suspicious when i saw why is it the search engine is still there cause I already went to my setting and changed my homepage to google. That's the moment i got strucked by lighting.lol. That stupid search engine was the culprit!!!!!!!!!!! It was the one that made my laptop laggy and hijacked my browser! Fuck you MYSTART INCREDIBAR!
Frustrated me left with no choice then google it lorrr, how to bla bla bla. And yeah, my guess was correct, that little devil was a virus, a spyware i guess. I didn't read much about it cause i'm in the urge to cure my sick pc. Run through some website , then i finally found the solution to uninstall that bullshit :
- Very troublesome plus i don't know whether it is effective not. Instructions wasn't clear at all.
- A video teaching you step by step removing the virus. Too lazy to watch lah me, and it is internet explorer, mine is chrome.
- SYSTEM RESTORE! woots, i chose this damn easy and effective =D except that i lost some files again lol.
Anyway, system restore is the best choice for me cause i backup my files in the D drive, and the most surprising thing is that before i reformatted my pc, my chrome has been a lot of bookmarks which i visit frequently, after reformatted , all of the google was gone, but then the magical thing happened as after i restore, every bookmarkings are back! o.O Oh yeah, before ending this, i would like to remind you all that whatever important files in your pc, please backup it up in your D drive or ext.hard disk cause you never know what misfortune will land on your pc >.< *touchwood* Toodles!
