Wouldn't be the first time. Ah, the joys of having a Mac. I laugh in the face of viruses. Muahahahah.

Good to be careful but do be aware that lots and lots of crapware out there mimics viruses to sell antivirus software, mostly. Look carefully at Windows messages - a lot of them are FAKE. Javascripts are programmed to do it.
Anyone who uses Windows, particularly any newer version, should get a passel of different anti-malware programs and run their systems through them. I recommend the following:
- Spybot Search and Destroy - AVG Anti-Spyware - Lavasoft AdAware
Use ALL THREE of these, because the variants multiply so fast that you have to keep on top of them.
Forget about Norton, McAfee, etc. they're expensive, bloated, screw up your system and on top of all that are essentially useless.
