Hello, I just wanted to also add a comment on this one because my boss had his computer hit by this same thing on Thursday and before it was fixed it took over his complete system. It was saying there were 572 viruses in his computer. He had to contact our local computer company and have a tech to come out to remove the viruses. It took the tech about 6 hours to rid his system of the so-called ANTI-VIRUS bug. So it is not only in emails that state they are from UPS. My boss said he only opened an email that was supposedly from a Military Forum. Guess nothing is safe to open anymore! Jackie

Lacey, On my laptop, as I enter any of the Gardenweb threads. I have Avast virus protection. Initially, opening a Gardenweb threads would set off all kinds of malware alarms. That's not happening anymore, but I'm still getting the jungle music.

It's a Golden Silk Spider. Some years I've had dozens of them in my yard. Never been bit. Here is a link that might be useful: spider pic

Usually you just have to NOT click on any banner ads or popup windows (or open email attachments from people you don't know, scan email attachments from people you do know). Best to have pop-up blocker software installed. the scary thing about this one is that I didn't click on anything as I was browsing through my PB album looking for the pic I wanted to post, and all of a sudden my browser shut down and I had this application window open saying that my AV software had detected a virus and I should scan now to remove and replace, click *here*. Wel, that sounded suspicious, i didn't recognize the AV Doctor software so I asked DH what he had installed on this laptop and sure enough, it was a bogus window made VERY cleverly to look like a real application window. Good thing I didn't click OK. So as long as you don't see this window, or if you do don't click OK, you should be all right. If you do see this window, run a real scan right away. Not sure what this would have done - installed a virus or some software that would have scanned my hard drive or captured passwords - something nasty b/c it would have loaded some executable (.exe) file on my hard drive. I have used PB since then and it hasn't happened again. Just wanted people to be aware of this malware on PB.
