Additional Comments: When I first started posting on MD, I was mainly interested in The Young & The Restless. So when I come on to this site, I type in Y&R and this site automatically comes up. A few days ago when I did this, a porn site came up. I can't even describe some of the photos the site was showing. I'll admit, though I did not click on, out of morbid fascination, I looked, after a few seconds, my spyware software came up and said to shut off the computer at once. There is an international virus going around called "Trojan" and it creeps up on certain sites. I'm sure they were hoping to lure someone to log on to one of the nasty photos that offered a promise of a nasty video. Any way, since W.E brought it up, beware.

Message: I have a program called Spy Sweeper which automatically sweeps my computer every week. Yesterday it caught a "trojandownloader" spy program, which, I'm now thinking, it picked up here. I will now take the time to run Spy Sweeper daily.
