Default Ebay Question
I guess it's possible for a computer to get a virus from anywhere. Has anyone ever got one from ebay? I was just browsing last night. I happened to click on a 2006 Roadglide . The computer acted a little funny after that. Flickering, slow, actually locked up once. This morning it had several viruses. One in particular disguised as a visus scan (somewhat common I guess) A friend at work de-funked it.
