Not been infected here, although I am using my netbook with Jolicloud. Did see someone come into me at work though, who had been infected shortly after purchasing Bullguard.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
