I found myself the victim of a computer virus today.
The virus, "XP Internet Security 2011" virus claims to be microsoft security software.
It says it is blocking something from accessing the internet (yeah-it blocks you) and throws more warnings and red flags than a Discovery throws OBDII codes.
I restarted in safe mode and downloaded "Spybot" after turning off this bogus program multiple times.
Spybot got rid of it and a few others that were lurking.
Just thought I'd let y'all know.
