It's very hard to figure out exactly where a virus came from and just because you think it came from neopets doesn't mean it actually did. Solely being connected to the internet leaves you open to viruses. But if it did come from an advertisement, most of the advertisements on the site are not up for more than 2 weeks.

I use Adblock Plus for firefox to hide the ads, makes things safer

Indeed, if you're worried about the advertisements on Neopets, you may want to check out our ad blocking tutorials. :yes:

The same thing happened to me a few months ago. I have virus, and spyware blockers, plus a firewall on my laptop, and it still got through. If this happens again, just find the backup and restore center on your computer and restore it to any date before it got the virus. It'll be completely wiped off!
