Just a heads-up... I logged onto TC at work right at quitting time, and got some sort of bug I'm assuming came from there.

I killed it with Super Anti-Spyware, but not before it F'd up a bunch of stuff on the computer.

It popped up some scam that asks you to pay $50 to "update" an anti-virus software that you don't even have.

I got it.

But I ain't clicking on anything.

Strange it did not do anything for me but I see its affected many over there. Probably something in one of the ads over there.

I have AVG at work and McAfee at home,I wonder if that makes a difference?

I read the big topic in the Bug Hunt forum about it on TC... seems it's in one of the advertisements on the site, so you'll only get it if that particular ad is displayed.

It hit me the other day. I had a hard time making it go away. My Norton kept saying it was there and I finally shut the computer off to make it go away. I hate the scum-bags that make those virus things.
