Seems a lot of people are getting trojan infections tonight!

i'm starting to get paranoid reading about all these infections people are getting, is there some major hack attack going on tonight, should i be more vigilant about what i click on to, facebook seems to be getting a few mentions, probably not but i thought i'd just check it out, is this something to worry about, or just coincidence or entirely par for the course?:eek:

    I wanted a free desktop share price tracker and found one, but it asked me to download Yahoo Widgets in order to get it and set up the price tracker, and as soon as i'd done t, I had several trogans and virus messages and had to do a full scan last night with Malwarebites and Avira

    Not sure it that was anytihng to do with it?
