Good morning. I want to warn you about something that I had to deal with yesterday. I spent part of the afternoon getting rid of a Trojan that my husband got on his computer when he went to a mandolin music site. When I got there the fake anti virus program was scanning his hard drive and preparing to wipe out his windows games and other system files. I had to get it to stop running and then remove it from the computer. The thing is it looked like anyone's antivirus program and unless you are alert you might think your antivirus program is running. It attached itself and downloaded to his computer when he entered the music site. We were not sure where he got it, but when he went back to the same site and it started downloading again, I could stop it before it started, and we knew for sure where it came from. I looked up the name of the program, Win Antiv 2008, and found that it was a Trojan and would indeed wipe out the windows files. People do stuff like that and think it's funny. I think it's criminal. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you is so that if you see something like that you will stop it before it starts and does damage to your computer.
