    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)?

    Do yourself a favor and buy a real antivirus program. The one Telus gives you is crap. Unless you are a computer repair person in which case you love Telus/Nortons and a few others that suck.

    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.
