Virus warning with Aali graphics driver
« on: 2016-12-18 20:09:50 »
Hi everyone,

I made this topic here because I had no idea where to make it.

Anyway, there are a few websites out there that have fake links to Aali graphics driver. I guess because his server appears to be down I guess a lot of people having been googling it

Anyway yeah so I downloaded something that I thought was Aali ff7 ff8 driver (it was named as such) and then all of a sudden my google is in Russian (no kidding it's in russian) and a bunch of random icons started appearing on my desktop. I shut everything down and now I'm on my laptop scrambling to make an Avast usb boot drive

Yeah, so I just wanted to post this to tell people not to do what I did and only download that thing from links posted here because there are viruses that are specifically packaged to make you think you're downloading the graphics driver. It may sound obvious but anyway I just thought I'd share.

Cheers
