    Hi All,
    Since this morning, I keep getting an error message (a windows popup) that says something like "You are vulnerable to Bloodhound bug. Install some anti-virus crap" ..... or something like that.

    And then, it brings up this pop-up:
    http://www.amaena.com/securityworm5/?aid=mwav1&lid=pp55

    Is this some kind of BOT?? I updated my SpyBot and ran it but it couldn't clean it out. I'll try Microsoft Anti-spyware as well. I'm just wondering if someone know what this is. Also, my machine was running really slow this morning. It's now running at normal speed after running SpyBot. SpyBot found around 16 BOTs so maybe they were slowing this down. Any ideas??

    I updated my MS Antispyware and did a clean ..... Nothing :(
    Updated Spoybot and did a full scan/clean ...... still nothing :(

    Then, I downloaded "K9 Web Protector" (something like that) from Download.com ..... didn't even have to touch the setting and bingo ..... this was the only one who blocked that pop-up and knew it was a bot. :)
