Trogan alert

Got one yesterday, McAfee gubbed it out OK.

It was low risk one called, . . . generic.dx!ew . . it's amazing how these little sods creep in, they piggyback in from various sites on the backs of pop-ups so block your pop-up feature in the security section of your browser.

I'm doing a full scan at the moment MM, it takes nearly 3 hours to complete.

I haven't done a full scan, it came up with a message when I turned the computer on, I had to select to delete it.

Maybe I should do a full scan

Absolutely, they're low risk but they're better quarantined.
