Title: Question about HDD and IP change
Post by: Namos on June 26, 2008, 02:53:25 AM
Not sure if this is mentioned in the guide, and I'll feel extraordinarily dumb if it was. Will performing an HDD or IP change get rid of your viruses on other computers, or prevent you from collecting their profits?

apparently an ip change stops you from getting their profits. so says when you try to swap.

might be wrong though

NO, you won't lose any viruses on others, IP change / Format only affects your gateway.

- The format will erase the disk data and replace with the standard software you start with.
- The IP change will sever active connections, delete all virii on your gateway and others will not have you anymore on their IP Database.


When you complete the format, downloads / uploads and the other external tasks are killed without any log entry. All gateway "Running Software" tasks are also killed.

On IP change only the virii on the server that changed the IP are affected (scrambled, they become useless, dead links).

External virii you have installed on other servers are still operational as you are the one communicating with the software, so they are not linked in any way to your IP.

one more clarification -> the ip change will sever active connections

im assuming thats virii on your gateway that's installed lose their connnections, whilst the virii you installed on other computers remain active and accessable/operational?

Yes that's right, and all others hackers logged onto your system are booted out.

Nother question

will this kill off all processes? or not? (i.e, deletions, downloads, etc)

doesn't answer my question, since deletions and downloads have external properties, whilst researches and stuff like firewall protect are wholly internal.

So uploaded/installed viruses still remain yours and still gain profits after ip change right?
