Yes, it's been going around lately and found it loads of places, they're pretty clever in the way they work because they get round the computer's Anti virus, it's a ransomware-based malware. I deleted it from a few people's comps recently, you can usually find the problem file in the users folder, in the appdata files and look around for something that doesn't look right. But the easiest way is to run Malwarebytes if your not sure what you're looking for.

Here's how to avoid the virus - don't try to nick TV that is not free to air.

That's right. The world is a different place now, because many things we used to have as physical things are now things we can no longer hold, like music or ebooks or computer streaming. It is still the property of someone, in this case Sky TV, and it is theft to obtain it for nothing in this country.

You might as well say, "watch out for that bloke selling cheap car stereos from the back of that volvo. It turns out that they were stolen, and you'll get loads of big blokes smashing your door in". Tough. Don't buy nicked stuff then.

Most blokes would be screwed because it's mostly found in porn sites.

Why not ask a friend or someone in the family to borrow their Sky log in details, boot Sky Go up and away you go. %100 free, %100 legal. Jobs a good un.

Well, not exactly 100% legal, but not viruses and unlikely to get caught

Now limited to two devices, to combat exactly what you've suggested.

We often get posters giving links or info to dodgy links on here and perhaps those that think we are spoil sports will get the message.

Half the sites we see are illegal and the other half are just dodgy, you get what you pay for.

Is that you Keith Lemon?

No, it's Richard Keys.

And over to Andy,,,,,,,,

My mum was phoned by a company pretending to be BT and they got her to log onto a website claiming it would get rid of a virus on her laptop. It rendered her PC useless and they wanted money to fix it.

its easier to use a mate who has a sling box... perfect pictures and legal ish lol

Just pay for it, get sky tv, no virus simples

My dad thought that until pay per view events came out, Sky are tards, end of.
