    I have this virus but i cant get to any of the sites to download a fix, any chance of someone putting it up or sending it to bridgeport13b@gmail.com

    Any help would be appreciated.

    BTW i think it may have come from ipmart.com everything was fine till i went there to get an app for my n95.

    It's almost a 15 meg download. You would have upgraded your computer twice by the time my internet would have uploaded it to you

    Update your Java!

    I'm not sure how accurate this information is, but I heard that these parasites can get shoved in via an exploit in older versions of Java. Head to and get the latest version.

    and how easy is it to get !
    go to win-antivirus-2008 and see,or get the popup
    the trick is,dont click ok, dont click anything.
    even clicking cancel doesnt worry this thing.
    bring up the task manager and kill the page url.

    I would say its not accurate. This thing is everywhere , my missus copped it on the screen after clicking on a link in a Google search while studying the other day. The OS was only installed a couple of weeks ago.

    It can pop up on a web page and soon as you click on it , you are stuck with it Its pop up boxes look like a genuine program and many people will click on it without thinking.
