James Dyer Thread?!?!? Warning?

I would be interested to know what caused the problem.
I have a new laptop which has been very very well behaved. I was in the other thread yesterday/last night but got no warnings. However last night and this morning my new laptop has been playing up in that it was taking ages to respond to anything and this morning when I started it up I could not get my browser to work, just would not open at all.
A restart sorted the problem but I hope it just coincidence rather than infection?The best things in life are free.....0 -

It may have been me actually:eek: I was checking my emails when I posted my wee comment about anime ( yes I know it was a slightly pointless comment but any excuse to talk about anime
). Anyway I just checked my email again and I had a spam apple mag email that had already been opened and I realised I may have opened it earlier by mistake. it was just saying that they needed my account details confirmed but I don't have an apple acc. deleted the email virus scanned computer and will delete my post just in case.
Sorry Bluebella if it was me and you've taken the blame
:j Maybe it was you after all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: as my laptop has been fine and no weird emails from Apple mag!

Oh dear, hubby has just ran various scans and it found heaps of malware and registry changes. Not sure if it is connected at all with this but does seem strange that my laptop started to act up after being in the thread last night? The best things in life are free.....0
