Threat note Flashing: You have a virus. Yipes!
Edited on Sun Apr-06-08 12:18 PM by yy4me
Hope I did this right.

My machine scans every AM at 8, using AVG. During my work later today, up comes this gem.

Threat found:

Decided the thing to do was to run another scan, up comes this: HTML/Framer. Tells me I have a virus so I held my breath and tried to remove it. There are no real instructions so I just followed logic, then emptied the vault. Hope it was the right thing to do. If not, I'm sure something will not work soon. Think I am OK?

Thanks

PS, what is it, anyway, anyone know?

2. You did the right thing.
In the worst case, you are still better off without the infection.
