It messed me up a little this weekend too. I just visited the main page and it installed some kind of search tool deal on my computer. I just removed it and ran Adaware to get rid of the stuff it placed on my computer. Glad to hear you guys got rid of that company.

Re: an ODD e-mail from OS today

If you clicked to enter the forums from the main page sometime Friday or Saturday you might have got the virus. I have a pop up stopper installed and I still got it. I cleared it out last night and all is well.

You dont have to click on anything, somehow the virus redirected the ad to a secondary site that then infected your computer. Its a low threat, easily removable virus. You should be able to run Spybot or Ad-Aware and get rid of it.

How would we know if we got the virus? What are the signs?

just download and run either adaware or spybot search and destroy...there's probably other stuff you don't know about, it's a good idea to run those once in a while
