Hello! Slingshot just send me that he recieved multiple reports about a downloading software called Adobe.exe or AF.exe. Its a critical malware, do not even try to download. ROBLOX does not have any viruses at all, some viruses only says that it comes from the the IP or Domain of ROBLOX.

Well here are some tips to keep malware of your computer.

1. NEVER OPEN FREE ROBUX LINKS.

They contain a Backdoor server + A Spyware, they can easy recieve all your information on your account. Aso the virus known as Jsawi.exe (SYSTEM PROCESS). As slingshot noticed: 'Theres no FREE Robux site, and they dont exist'. They just give you a big virus.

2. Do not download random files.

Sometimes, ROBLOX asks you for download a file, do not open it. Most of the files are tags.js. Its a javascript file.

3. Look at the publisher.

Its imporant, look at the publisher when opening a program. If it is a very known program, like ROBLOX. And you open it, it will says 'Do you want to run this program?'. Then you will see a bit of information, if it says for example, ROBLOX Corp, you are safe, But sometimes it says: 'Unknown Publisher'. Then never open it.

4. Do not use any exploiting software on ROBLOX.

You may seen those exploiters, right? Annoying they are, but the fact is, that sometimes the script acces ROBLOX wich can acces your local drive. So dont use any exploits.

TL;DR version: Do never open random files, or open ROBUX links, they give you a virus called Malware. Just dont open them.

NOTE:

Some sites may look like ROBLOX like robloxplayer.com.
Its a phishing site.

Well, thats basicly the reason why my alt got banned, I fell for those free robux sites, and aso got a virus called Trojan.Ransom. Wich is a Ransomware. What it does is that it giving at startup a warning that you need to pay to the FBI.

The reason I don't agree with this is because I downloaded it onto a new computer (Windows 7, 2012 Version) with nothing on it except for AVG Virus Protection. The only thing I got on there was ROBLOX, and then a week later, the computer broke. Can you explain this?

@Dr

You may got the Ilegal Version. Never get the free version, its outdated.

I suggest Kaspersky Internet Security 2013-2014.


Its a really good antivirus that kicks hackers off my PC.

@DrBlox- Did you download AVG yourself or did it come with the computer?



If you downloaded it yourself that means you got a virus.



NEVER DOWNLOAD THINGS LIKE "VIRUS REMOVER" OR "VIRUS PROTECTION" THINGS, THEY ARE VIRUSES.

I don't download anything and if I ever do download something other than I usually do I ask my big brother if it's OK.

@DrBlox- Well, it might have been some other thing you downloaded.



Have you downloaded games from random sites or other type of things?

Does your mom or dad use your computer?


Do you have some weird toolbar on your browser(s)?

Not starting a flamewar but I suggest Kaspersky or Malwarebytes. AVG saves drivers in the System32 folder... After I updated the AVG, It said I needed to restart the laptop, it was starting up very slow and came with a bluescreen. Now I got a new PC and bought Kaspersky on it, really good.

AVG is aso good, but isnt that fast as Kaspersky, AVG uses alot of more RAM than KS.

The worst Antivirus I ever seen is Avira

@warycapdecutie. Surveys are viruses. Trust me, they just want your secret information.

No capes!

A lot of the times, the virus will change the default link roblox.com uses.
You can see here, https://twitter.com/kuolth/status/433346765241085952
There is a ROBLOX.com link, my friend changed it and it constantly kept redirecting roblox.com to what he changed it to. Some viruses may do that. You should check if your having trouble.

Thanks Roblox, I keep on looking at comments that say free robux website! I am tempted to go there but I refuse to let myself do it, now that you have told me that it gves me a virus I will never be tempted to open up another free robux website. Thank you!
