    Update on this issue of the Russian Mafia vs Bill Gates and the computing community.

    Protect yourself by not loading spyware programs and participating in ADWARE scams.

    Do not open email from folks you do not know.

    Website links from unknown sources should not be clicked on.

    I clicked on a link left at a forum by some young Buck who did not test the link himself, it proceeded to load many ADWARE Programs and Cookies on my box.

    So be careful.

    The latest is that hackers are using pop ups to gain information on bank accounts and steal passwords.

    Shawn, if I post a photo of Elle MacPherson would that wake you up?

    Next time you want to get some sleep, no need to take any pills, just come back to this thread. :D

    Just look up at the virus ads next time you come back, I am sure that you will get excited then. :cool:
