Hi all, My dh sent me this and he already had to deal with 2 virus attacks on our computer system at home so take heed to this! It kinda looks like a joke, so I asked him about it and he said it was serious.
Also if your computer all of a sudden starts up Internet Explorer and then starts showing files being opened up in a little window at the bottom of the screen. Turn it off!!! It works very quick so don't piddle around! I saw it, and hit the power button within maybe 2 or 3 seconds and we had 27 files infected that fast!
Thankfully Mark knows how to handle these situations and cleaned it all up (otherwise I wouldn't be sending you this, ha)!!
Well I hope nobody needs this info. but it's always good to know, just in case!
God Bless, Becky
