If you come across anything like this being sent to you while you're on MSN:
PLEASE Do NOT click the link in your MSN window! It is a virus! (Note: clicking the link above in this post will not give you the virus - I modified its location to a nonexistant page.) |

I got that virus.......for about 5 seconds. Once I clicked on it, AVG popped up telling me that I had just been infected and it automatically deleted the file. I'm not afraid of viruses, spyware, or malware. I'm mainly afraid of adware, since I have very little protection against it. Still, if I'm infected with something especially nasty, I just have to spend 2 hours formatting the thing and restoring all of my files. Such computer worries only make you live shorter. |
