Scan with AntiVirus 2009 now!" which pops up randomly on so many LEGITIMATE sites... AntiVirus 2009 is SPYWARE, and downloads three different trojans in its payload to boot.

A dialog box popped up asking me to give permission for an internet explorer update.... being in a foul mood (while fighting with my comp full of viruses), I copied the details down, clicked cancel. I googled and there before my eyes... was the "Because I love you Virus" How many people would think that it is safe to click an update request..... being forewarned is forearmed! Suspicious from now on! It's a big bad world out in cyberspace!

Glad to hear my Nigerian "friends" reached out to you. They started on me through the regular mail and somehow got my e-mail too! So smart ... yet they can't get their money out? Any questionable e-mail I get I just copy a snippet of text, enter in search. and voila` - scam or no. Good advice! Glad to hear my Nigerian “friends” reached out to you.

I have no friends so know immediately that such a thing is fraudulent. On the other hand apparently, I can get my hands on a large proportion of $1,500,567 if I just press *this* ........
