Alright just wanted to make sure you all know about this. There's a virus going aroind. It looks like a regular computer anti virus program, but it's nasty to try and get out of your computer. I am 99.9% sure it's called Spyware Protection: designed to protect. It will come up on random sites. A computer scan will come up and it will "detect" many, many viruses on your computer. At the end of the scan it will say to remove, and when u try to do that it will want u to buy or download something to get rid of it. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!! That's a nasty virus and a rip off of money. If this attacks you, immediately try to close it with the red X in the corner, then try to open your real virus protection and run a real scan, a first quick scan should do. It should detect something, then will quarentine it. Call technical support, and they will help u try to get it off. This virus has hit my entire family and all our computers, hit mine this morning. I just wanted to warn you all. Don't fall for it, I mean it. I'm using my phone at the moments if my spelling bad srry.

I did get this, but thankfully the scanner detected this and warned me not to go on it, I did and was dumb enough. I got 9 viruses, but my PROFESSIONAL scanner popped up and got rid of all of them. I got a small green window that said "You Computer is cleared and safe!"
