Today I noticed a Hume bates on my facebook friends list. Never remember adding him. Clicked on his profile and got a virus! :evil: Thankfully I am running a full scan and I think maybe I caught it in time before doing any damage. :(

My computer guru told me to stay off Facebook and Twitter. Said it's too easy to embed viruses.
