It's true.

I was lucky enough to pick it up, it's not really a virus though. It's "malware" that gets hidden somewhere in the download and once it's on your PC you're scr*w*d!

It makes security pop ups come up and I have pop up blockers installed but you just can't get rid of it, a real pain in the a$$!

I had to do a system recovery to get rid of it so my PC was basically down for 2 days while I had to reload all my apps and programs, all set now though.

I run McAfee and that program didn't even see it coming, what a piece of .... program, I think I'll switch over to Norton after this last episode.

I wish I could remember what the link was that I went on to get it so I could warn you all to not download that specific one but alas ... the gray matter is not what it used to be.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
