aloa,

today I read on a news site about the situation with viruses etc. theese days.
Nowadays there are fake-antivirus programs on the market which bring trojans backdoors etc.
if you install them. Some of those tell you to pay to get rid of infections but most of ´em
do nothing that way. They just ask for more money.
Another thing is a virus/trojan which covers itself as flash-player-update. So if you visit a site and
there comes a pupup asking you for updating your flashplayer, regret and check http://www.adobe.com/
for an update. That way you go the save way.
Some of those viruses are so nasty that in most cases a
Code:
\\:format c
is the easiest way to
clean up your pc.

So be advised to keep your OS and antivirus updated (as usual).

stay clean
