Had a weird issue when on wikia earlier, the wikia tab went back to the rs tab for seemingly no reason, I switched back to wikia to carry on reading a guide, flicked back to RS and I was black screened - I figured it was just some graphics glitch so went back to reading wikia, thinking it would just fix itself like the old white screens would sometimes if u flicked between pages.
I could still hear the music and sounds in the background so didnt worry about it.
went back to the Rs page, still black screened - closed the window - got the regular pop up about leaving the page, left it, logged back in to find I'd moved about 4 squares, and my inv / money pouch had been emptied.
Anyways I have a worm and a Java exploit on my computer,
I'm 99% sure where I got it from, I was watching a guide on YT on herblaw - seemed quite a decent guide - it had a click here for more guides at the bottom of the vid, i clicked took me to a java chat room on a web page, clicked refuse on allowing it to load, but it still loaded somehow anyway. So just closed it... but obviously too late
Not from anywhere else because I dont do anything online anymore really, just RS and trusted sites, Havent downloaded anything in ages, with the exception of a screenshot program, but that was from download.com which is usually very safe and virus scanner hasnt found anything in that download or program.
Money pouch and inv emptied lolVirus:

Summary
This threat is detected by the Microsoft antivirus engine. Technical details are not currently available for this threat.
As I say I'm 99% sure it's that, just a word of warning, this happened while I was logged in to RS, no one as far as I can see was able to log into my account or has my password etc.. (ie I had no trouble logging back in.. last log in was my IP - time between closing the window to log out of RS and logging back into the same world was a few seconds).
but just in case as it is a new virus and MSE missed it on the way in and didnt see it as active, only found it on a full scan, I've asked oobs to take away my powers in koa forums and CC - just on the outside chance I am still otherwise infected by a different virus. and I've changed all my IRL passwords etc via another computer.
Housecall and Symnatec both missed this virus and say I had none. MSE missed the virus in entering the computer and active use, but did find it in a deep scan.
If u get a black screen - but RS is still running - log out immediately
what a shame.
