CARNIVOROUS MAXIMUS
Me too!! I system restored my computer to a few days before, and also downloaded spybot. Spybot found a whole bunch of spyware and got rid of it but I don't know if it was related to the above link. Also scanned for viruses with my telus security and they found nothing.
I hope that fixes my problem, does anyone know otherwise (not referring to my stupidity)?
You can take the man out of the wilderness but you cant take the wilderness out of the man.
i got the same message a few weeks back- i opened the link =looked like swedish or something so i just closed it-didnt click on anything on the site- should be ok. nothing bad has happened the last few weeks anyhow.
Out of curiosity I opened the link on one of my old "dud" computers to see what kind of malicious nonsense occurred.
RESULT: yes it's a trojan, and made a mess.
I especially liked the threat that said "Skype is trying to download your credit card information".
Recommendation: delete.

Try out the Home version of Avast, (Free), and Malwarebytes, also free. they work quite well. I just went through a nasty bout of a virus.
1. Open your computer under "Safe Mode" Hit F3, or F5, I believe, as it boots.
2. Use your arrow button to select "Safe Mode"
3. Reset the "System Restore" date
4. Download a reputable Virus product and run it.
This should clear up your issues. Mine is back to what it was. A good trustworthy download site is CNET. I've had good luck there.

long enough to see how stupid you look!!!!!
