What it does: It changes the name of any part (SMB or brick, plate etc.) it touches to “infected,” then puts the script into the infected part. This may not seem bad to some people because it is a name change right? Well this is some of the effects FROM the effect: 1. Teleporters won’t work; they need names to find the brick to teleport to. 2. Some planes and other vehicles won’t fly; they need bricks named engine, gun1 or gun2 to work right 3. Infecting zombies will fail if the script spreads; the arms sprouting on you from getting hit need names too! How to prevent it: Easy here. Just save before putting in a free model and CHECK the bricks in it for scripts, it will have a + next to it if it has a humanoid, decal, script, or value in it. Also if the script was unintentionally put in there it will have “infected” in the name. Don’t panic; just delete the scripts or the model. I have it! What do I do? Well this comes from experience; there are 3 ways to get rid of it. 1. Place multiple remedies in uninfected bricks {you can get remedies (aka vaccines) in free models} 2. (What I did) Go in and delete every infected script and rename important named stuff like zombie parts, planes, bases, and teleporters. This is hard for big places, but I didn’t know there were remedies and did this. It worked and my infected place (X-treme Skateboard Park) is cured. Stuff that is floating in the air (anchored and not touching anything infected) isn’t infected and probably doesn’t need to be checked. (But check a couple things by hitting play in studio) if you are infected names will change 3. Rebuild your place, if remedies don’t work and you don’t want to do what I did because it is hard you have to rebuild. I’m sorry but it is true. If you find any information about the designer of the infected script PM me, Anaminus, and post on this thread.

| I don't have the virus, but this is a well-organised guide! I'll give links to all the people with the infected script! |

| Now we know and can start reverse engineering it. (To make the most powerful remedies yet) |

| they do but i tried many many just now against the new one, the newer one causes messages, not name changing, the messages fog up the screen, cause extreme lag and are nothing like the one i was infected with. The remedies must work with the older ones and not the newer one. Fourtunately unless another update happens this new script would only be able to hide in ONE brick at a time. This will keep the spread down but the best way to stop the script is to delete it/them once you know where they are in studio. Problem with my park was ramps need to fall to be measured for a skateboard place and hitting play spread the older script in. The newer script should be easier to locate if you keep track of free models. |

those who want to help me but couldn't buy this to help me raise money to stop the infected virus. I will use the money to pay roblox's best scripters/ best builders/admins/mods to GET RID OF THIS VIRUS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! -Dr. MonsterA95 |

| Also i have reason to believe now, that not one, but a group of people might have designed the infected script. It might have been a clan that wanted power like and was willing to do anything to get it. Dued1 is rumored to have designed this script too. He is one of Roblox's greatest scripters but he hasn't tried to make remedies, and made the Anti-lag virus before. People think it is him, and i am getting suspicious too. We have to look for the newer versions, Find the guy who made them, and then make remedies. I am a terrible scripter but i can reverse engineer well. If i have a few good scripters with me we can come up with the ultimate remedy! |

| I will search free models for models too good to be true and investigate the script/ test. |

There are some possible ways to stop the "virus." But if a solution is found it should only be spread among a select group of scripters... Then a group of vaccines released that will prevent vaccine deletion as some modern viruses are capable of... I'm willing to help...

I reasearched clans and found out some suspects. Elite Wing: Very large and powerful clan. If they want cash, they can get it without viruses though (thosands of members not all may be involved) M inc.: I am a member but i ntoticed that they showed up about the same time as the virus did. Coincidence? Maybe... Dued1: I doubt he would do it but maybe somebody took his accidentally created "anti-lag" virus and edited it into the first version of the script. A unlisted clan's mole: A small clan might have made a doomsday script like this to get rid of roblox if it became too noob infested. Somebody higher up could know the script and be paid by somebody to give it too them. In spy organizations, this is called being a mole or double agent.
* Remember I'm not pointing fingers, these are just prime suspects who COULD have done it. We have no conclusions and ANYONE could be a suspect.
***Small announcement*** I have started reverse engineering the infected scripts. I am making a remedy for the newer one.
(VERY IMPORTANT!!!) While reverse engineering i realized that the infected script could be even more dangerous! The newer one can currently only be spread ONCE through an infected model, NOT BRICKS. But i looked and realized very shortly it could spread through bricks if combined with some parts of the earlier one and some wep scripts. This would be more than shuttin down tele's makein zombies less dangerous and planes unusable. One alone causes major lag! Think of one for nearly every brick!!! It would disconnect everyone from pure laggyiness! I won't say what lines, what weps, or which wep scripts but it is possible! We need a new remedy fast! |

I think the simplicity of the scripts is just disturbing. Lets form a group, called VAT Virus Awareness Team! |

actually, there has been a hack going around for ages, ive had it twice. it makes loads of messages appear on screen. if any of the messages include:
i love you i hate you spam the forums lol This is a message from an alternate reality.
or anything with 1x1x1x1, it is a hack. not dangerous, but a script hacked to be invisible. its impossible to cure |
