Ugg...this virus...can it be helped?
OK, I'm scanning with Norton Anti-Virus software, and have counted 12 viruses on my (Mom's) laptop. Windows just pop-up when I either, do nothing or click on a link on a web page. And in this entry certain text is turning green, and acting as if they are links.
I think I may gotten the darn thing from here, so please be careful when clicking on the link.
I have never had trouble with this site before, any thoughts/suggestions?
I hope I can fix this problem before my Mom finds out.
Can it get worse?
(Looks at virus count: 21)...ugg.
Do you think Norton can detain these?
[EDIT: OK, I've deleted 12 of these...about 8,9, remain. I am doing another scan to see if I can quarantine these things.)
