    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

      Exactly right. OS is not the only site you'll get these from.

      However, this particular nastiness was an exploit of an IE vulnerability. Those using Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape/Opera should be unaffected.

      ..... Since bdunn is in Vegas, let me just insert some anti-M$ dogma here, and remind y'all to use Firefox.

                  Re: an ODD e-mail from OS today

                  Sorry for this dumb question, but how do I download Adaware or Spybot and how do I run search and destroy?

                        Search for it using Google, I"m sure there are places you can download adaware.
