Beware Of Trojan - Read This First!

Options
I followed a comp link last night and my system warned me about a virus.
On checking the security logs, I see it was a trojan.:eek:

I have reported the post and hope it can be checked before any damage is done.

The comp heading is:

"E 04/01/08 London Theatre Break + accom"

    Hi all. It was me that posted that Comp. I only found it as I had googled comps to try and find a few to post to give some back so to speak.
    I really do hope that you all dont think that it was me trying to spread something like this.
    Sorry if its caused any upset.

    If Spyware doctor is your only protection, you should read this article here as your PC is not adequately protected and is most llikely full of nasties!
