Damn: My PC may be sick

Separate from the warning, there is a program out there called Anti-Virus 2009 that ISN'T.? It is a virus and a bad one.? Rumor has it that it was created in Russia, and that they have made $5 million from unsuspecting users clicking on "BUY" and getting a very complex and sophisticated virus that has the anti-virus name.

Also, in case you haven't already, there is a current severe vulnerability in IE; enough so that Microsoft is recommending IMMEDIATE (out of bandwidth) patching for everyone.? Again, do this from known tools in IE and not by clicking on an email that warns about the problem.

Jim - That's scary. Do you know if you have to input card numbers or can it suck data out of your computer?

Svend - I generally use Firefox but can't be certain since my group uses an IE based server program and when working from home sometimes hold my nose and use the IE browser.
