well after installing spiral knights i found a program using 60% cpu called miawoo.exe right after playing for a while
i searched it and it was a worm O____________________________________O
i did a scan, AVG removed it, miawoo was still using cpu so i restarted
AVG detected it in autorun.inf and it was removed completely
it didnt do any damage so interesting story?
oh yea first linktheheroftime (mispelled lol)
Good thing I use Common Sense 2013.
Common sense 2013 is the best, but I really need to run my scheduled scan soon, It's been a fair few downloads since my last.
You did not get a worm from Spiral Knights.

Why would you post this? You're not funny.
The author of this pointless thread.
Slymin, the author probably honestly thought their virus was SK's fault, even though they were wrong.
They were doing their due diligence and reported it to the forums, even though it was incorrect.
At the very least, let this be a reminder to us all that we need antivirus programs to protect us from our own stupidity.
For those of you who don't know, Microsoft is working on a lightweight virus scanner. It's currently in beta and does NOT replace your antivirus, but it can help you find problems other scanners might miss:

In a weird twist, Microsoft security essentials came out very good in independent tests recently beating avast, avira and avg (all free versions). I say weird twist because windows defender has been so pointless for so long, i assumed M.S.E would be just as useless. Bull Guard came out on top but it's not free.
Also it may be worth going to shields-up

Choose "Proceed" then "scan all service ports"
This will check for any "holes" in your defences
providence, microsoft already has "security suite" and whatever their old one is... what makes you think whatever theyre working on now will be any better? :P
that reminds me i havent installed my antivirus.
