Yes, that is what happened. I got the same pop-up you did, and I didn''t believe it because my anti-virus software is up-to-date, so I backed out of the pop-ups, rebooted and did a scan with my anti-virus software. I did not get infected. Whew!Date: 1/15/2010 11:10:11 AM

ARGH!!!! Last night I was googling song lyrics for Dreamer and a screen popped up that I was infected, do I want to run my antivirus? I say yes, and it''s scanning blah blah, detects 34 threats, and I''m like dangit, I just RAN everything 3 days ago! So I''m looking, and it says it won''t get rid of these threats b/c I haven''t purchased this whatever protection, do I want to purchase now? I say no. I try to run my Avast and it won''t run anything, just this little screen comes up that says it can''t run this whatever file b/c it''s infected la la la...argh I was so ticked! I got off and turned it back on, tried to connect and a little screen came on ''you are currently under attack by a trojan'' so I unplugged the whole thing. So..I took the tower down to be looked at this morning, and I''m up at my Gramma''s house right now!
I''m wondering if when I was googling, maybe I clicked on a page that gave me the pop up about being infected and when I clicked on it, it just SAID I had all this crap to get me to click to buy something and get info? Regardless, I took it in anyway to get checked out. I don''t want to take any chances. I called mom last night and said it would be HAHA to anyone thinking they''re being smart getting my bank account numbers cuz um yeah-they''re going to get like 17 cents.
So...of ALL THE DAYS for this to happen! I did hear from Sally and she''s got to weigh it etc when it''s off the bench..no pics yet.
I''ll run back up here after lunch and see if there''s anything, and then I''ll check back after we get back tonight. London is in a little Junior Cheerleading program for this week, and they''re preforming at half-time at the basketball game tonight so we''re going to go and video tape it. If you guys are good, I''ll link you to it on youtube so you can see my baby girl!
