There's a nasty virus spreading on Borderlands 2 on Xbox 360 via online co-op. It's called the Graveyard.sav virus and it corrupts save files, making the game pretty much unplayable using that save. Once your save file is corrupted, you are prevented from respawning and will be in a free roam camera mode. Your save file will also say "Graveyard.sav" above it. Various people online figured all this out and posted workarounds before Gearbox got word of it all and posted pretty much the same thing.

Here's Gearbox's word on the matter:

"Recently a few users have begun violating the Xbox Live Code of Conduct by using an external application to maliciously disrupt the experience and sabotage characters of legitimate Borderlands 2 players on Xbox 360. Fortunately it's easy to avoid this scenario.

While we work to resolve this as quickly as possible with our partners, concerned Xbox 360 players of Borderlands 2 should consider playing online with trusted individuals in non-public sessions. This does not affect players on PC or PlayStation 3. 

We also advise that before ceasing play, users always select "Save and Quit" from within the pause menu while their character is alive. If after the death of their character players find themselves at the main menu of Borderlands 2 instead of respawning in-game, be sure to immediately select "Continue" to resume playing as that character.

We ask that players report any suspicious behavior in Borderlands 2 to spotted@gearboxsoftware.com and provide as much details and documentation of their disrupted experience as possible to assist us in our investigation.

For discussion of this topic please use this thread."
