Be on High Alert

This almost screwed me over. I had to run 3 virus scans on 2 programs to fix this. It wasn't me that clicked it. It just came up and started running crap on my computer. In all, I removed 8 viruses in 1 day!

Watch out for this kind of thing. Tons of wasted time on this junk. I'm lucky I have another computer, because one scan on my computer take at least 3-4 hours.

yeah i got that crap not too long ago it atomatically removed the virus protecter i already had on my computer then i had to go buy another $50 dollar McAfee and to this day im still removing viruses, but luckly  with McAfee i dont have to constantly scan my comp. for hours on end and it removes unwanted or potentally dangerous files on its own (with my approval of course)...

Damn spammers >:(
