i'm sure i posted this before, but I forgot where.
anyways, I was looking for a car enthusiasts chatroom,
namely bmw. And so i went and searched for BMW chatrooms
in google. Now, I know this sounds stupid, but I don't
read link discriptions. and i clicked on each link, the
third one down took me to some strange site, and before i
knew it, it said I was being under investagation!?
I went back there to see what was going on, it didn't pop
up again. Could anybody tell me what's going on? i would
contact microsoft, but I don't want to allow them to
access my computer, like it says i must let them. So any
help would be appreciated. my e-addy is

You definately posted this yesterday, and it was answered by myself and one
other person.

Kazaa - Software update services for your Viruses and Spyware.

It is just another stupid popup designed to get you to buy software to
"protect" yourself. It was a lie, don't worry about it.
As always, be sure to download the free programs "Spybot Search and Destroy"
and "AdAware" to clear out any spyware from your computer, and run an
up-to-date antivirus program continually.
