I removed the link since many thought it might infect them. I was just trying to be helpful with my post...
Google "Open Cloud Malware" if you want to see what it is.
BTW, I am running the latest spyware, malware, firewall and AV. This thing still slipped through. I am not a computer novice.

Well, there you go. Free spyware & anti-virus software is FAR from safe, obviously. However, if you don't mind dealing with the occasional worm/virus, tracking cookies, etc. and the possible harm they can do to your data & hard drive, then free is the way to go. Me... I'm not that ballsy. I use Norton Internet Security.

Just an FYI...
If your running Windows 7, you should be logged on under a "Limited" account rather than as an Admin, then NOTHING can get installed into your system without you knowing it, and having to enter an administrative password to enable it to install.
