My girlfriend made the mistake of using IE to watch youtube and all of sudden the screen went like this:

Working on removing this shit.

Seriously, how did this get on my computer? It seems that it's be spreading through youtube.

Storm Center has traced it to not yet having applied the emergency JRE 7.11 patch and visiting a certain network of gay bondage web sites.

No, this is a serious issue. You need to talk to your girlfriend. Whatever she's doing on those bondage websites, YOU're not getting any of it.

So did you get rid of it, petrejanda? Did you pay them?

You have to send them a 30min home-made bondage movie before they let you go. So I was told anyway.

Reinstall your girlfriend's computer with a real operating system please. Something like Plan 9.

Don't fuck with him. He doesn't know what his girlfriend does in her free time, that alone is something to worry about.
