Hi. The other day I was looking for a specific video (G rated) and my browser took me through several links, util I found it. when I clicked it to watch it, I suddenly noticed that there was something running in the background, and on the taskbar, there were several processes running called "project_1" I turned on the task manager, and there were indeed several programs called "project_1.exe" I was able to kill all the browser windows, and kill all the projects running, however, it seems that this project installed several toolbars, and spyware on the system. I was able to get ridd of it all after several hours of disecting.
Is there a way to stop such vbs or whatever this was from executing right off the internet? Whasn't my antivirus program(Symantec) supposed to alert me that this exe was multiplying itself? Thank you.
