The Gman Virus (what is it)

[< blank >]

It's called the gman Virus. It has been spreading for quite some time. I wrote a giant thing about it on some forums.
The Scary G-Man Virus is a Supposed Lua Coded Virus, That if you download the wrong Addon, or go on an Infected server. you will get this G-Man virus.

What it does,

It Takes over your screen with a Map Texture, that has 2 gman faces put together, Which you can easily find in some Map Textures. So, as i was saying. It takes over your screen, and Makes a long Screech. If you clikc Quit, it says "HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA NO" And, If you Alt+F4/Ctrl+Alt+Del it says "NOPE, YOU'RE IN THE PITS OF HELL NOW LOL".

It then opens up Internet Explorer since there is no Ad Block, And Opening Tabs randomly. which have Virus filled things, and Virus Ad's. It also downloads a Video called "Jews" which is a ♥♥♥ Porn video, That Automaticlly opens when downloaded. And it installs a Virus each Video, They say it downloads around 20 times. The Virus Run through your Gmod Folders, Eventually through your whole computer. and Ruining it, As many Threads on facepunch.com, of people complaining about this "Scary Gman Virus"

Have it? Here is how you remove it

*Quote from Facepunch*
"Delete garrysmod/garrysmod/cache and garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg

The virus is there

And if you want to feel safe,delete garrysmod/garrysmod/lua.

They all regenerate when you reboot GMod.

Also,download the GMod Beta SVN. Search it and you'll find some forums on it. "

Ways you can Avoid it

Here's how to avoid being infected by any viruses GMod viruses:
-Avoid joining random servers or atleast don't join the obviously infected ones, If the servers name is something like "Chr1saster's ♥♥♥♥ hole" or "gayry is ♥♥♥!" then you probably shouldn't join it.
-Don't download random lua files off the web.
-Don't download lua hacks off the web.
-Don't ♥♥♥♥ with the rogue admins.
-Don't install scripts that your friends or "friends" have sent you.
-Inspect regulary the contents of your gmod folder and the contents of the files in there.
-If there is no Picture for an addon, Check it's contents. before downloading,

Good god, at this rate people could make money off making "G-AntiVirus".
Yes, exploits are possible, but as for how it could hijack and open a browser? Something tells me it:
Opens a rather mean page in GMod's awesomium browser
The mean page does dirty work involving the use of flash player (seeing how Java isn't supported) (I have no idea what I'm talking about but I hope it makes sense)
The page's dirty work ends up getting used in some form or way (don't know how it would launch the "virus")
And then you get nice GMan faces and stuff like shock websites.

Again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Soooo... Is this virus still out there? Or is it fixed? Can your antivirus protect you from it, and can it happen on a Mac?
