Girls!!!!!!!!!!! Important!!!!!! NEW COMPUTER VIRUS!!!!!!! UPDATE AT BOTTOM

I'm on phone with Donna. she said be on the look out for a pop up box, on your computer, saying 'Spy Protector', and the words, 'your system's security status is low, please change your security settings. IT LOOKS LIKE AN ANTIVIRUS, BUT IT'S NOT; IT'S A VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donna thinks it's a virus, and is running her Spy Bot, to get rid of it, and if that doesn't work, she has to do a system restore. Donna keeps xing out of this and it keeps popping up!!! Mary MOB

Donna just called. FINALLY GOT RID OF THE VIRUS!!!!! She said it was not easy, but she did a system restore, and something about pressing the F8 button, and safe mode networking, to remove the virus!! Oh, and it helps if you throw things too, to release your frustration/anger at the dastardly virus!!!!!!! Mary MOB
