If nothing else, at least you are consistent :)

Well that's because I eat a lot of fiber.

I'm kinda starting to wonder if we should have a sticky thread describing how to behave in case of a virus/malware warning, since it's rarely GOG's fault when stuff like this happens.

Because I kinda can see why fr33kSh0w2012 could get downrepped for this, there are probably just some users who dislike overreacting, especially when the issue is known and is determined to be something on the user side. Since I have previously encountered similar issues thanks to the interesting priorities of my AV software, I think it could be helpful to avoid such incidents by posting some sort of a guide regarding what a user should do if he/she runs into this sort of a problem. Might be overkill, but after all, a lot of forums have a section about the site/forum itself, with basic or important information...

Regarding saving the pictures from the shelf - I did that before, with Firefox: saved the shelf page to my harddrive (File -> Save as...), then grabbed the pictures from the attached folder. Dunno how it works in other browsers.

A sticky would be great but no one should get downrepped in here, ever. I don't mind getting flack for posting but if I wanted to be punished for it I'd go hang out at the Steam forums.

Better yet I'd go back to high school.

DyNaer: yeah too. My guess it's not in your end . : the page you linked has problem with IE10 too

But the gog certificate issue , doesn't have issue with IE10.

note : i use IE10 only as backup (it's ugly :P)
So, you're also receiving certificate alerts on the Groupees page, right? good... maybe it's not my fault after all... ;p

Yeah, that's because of the secure link (https).. Without it, there's no check..

Well, if it's happening with you too.. I'm calmer now... sorry. ;p


Edit: no, I got one from Alienwarearena too...

for the OP; you should run an anti-malware tool in safe mode , because some malware stays hidden in normal mode.

try those tools

roguekiller ->
http://tigzy.geekstogo.com/roguekiller.php

adwcleaner ->
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

running both won't hurt.

do a complete scan in safe mode with the kaspersky rescue disk utilty if not enough.

http://support.kaspersky.com/4162

after that , i have no idea , except something left and stay hidden and should be removed , in safe mode.

Did you read the bleepingcomputer guide that i posted before? It takes more than just a malware removal or virus scanner to remove all the hijacker's trace.
