On a higher note:
Shopkeemote V2! With more frame and better!
On the downside it's 21.0KB, meaning I need to drop exactly 1 KB somewhere.
Yeah, I know... I was put off guard by the site being so popular though.
Do you think a full system scan with Avast would be able to root out everything? (assuming there is more, though judging by the quality of the things it blocked, there wouldn't be anything too serious... hopefully.) I hope so because there's no way I can back up everything on this computer in any reasonable amount of time... Not to mention I don't have the right software to unlock my external hard drive on this comp so I can't right now in the first place.

Was thinking "I'm feeling nostalgic for this game but I don't have it... Maybe I'll emulate it for a while."
>>Downloads Emulator no problem.
>>Downloads ROM >> 20KB/s >> 29 Hours Remaining >> Hell no.
>>Goes to second rom site on Google's list, the next most popular one.
>>"We use our own downloader to make sure everything you download is 100% virus free and fast!" >> Sounds nice?
>>All the comments are generally positive about the site and its downloads.
>>Downloads downloader. >> Clicks downloader.
>>Do you want this offer? >> No. >> Are you sure? {OK} {Cancel} >> Which one means "yes do not install this offer?!" >> Clicks "Cancel"
>>Downloading the game...
>>Avast has blocked the thing being offered AND 3 OTHER THINGS!
>>1 second later AVAST HAS BLOCKED 15 THINGS!
>>CTRL ALT DEL END TASK END TASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>Okay I think it stopped. Whew.
>>Oh crap some things got past Avast and installed. DELETE. DELETE. DELETE. REMOVE ADDON. DELETE! SHRED FILES! DESTROY!
>>VIRUS SCAN. MALWARE SCAN. SPYWARE SCAN.
>>Everything seems to be in order... Whew.
>>I don't feel nostalgic anymore. Maybe I'll play some Skyrim instead.
>>Looks on internet. >>Turns out some people have had over 40 ___ware/virus warnings from the downloader. Presumably they let it complete.
>>Be glad it was all really crappy and easy to remove.
>>Goes and posts about it here >>Awaits inevitable people calling me an idiot.
>>Hey, it looked legit and apparently lots of people at least used to use it. So it was an okay site once upon a time.
>>Why am I even posting this here. Shaadaris' adventures on the gulliblenet. That should be the name. Of a thing. Yes... No.
We've all been there, done that. Just pray you caught all the nasties before they digged in, and still, it's a good time to check you have a safe backup of all your stuff... because if something actualy ugly dug in, your best bet is to format the fuck out of your hard drive.
Protip: Never. EVER. Use a downloader. Try not to even use the official ones for software; if at all possible, always download the "full"/"offline" installer versions, the ones that weigh a bit more than a couple KB. Installers and downloaders are fucking evil.
