I thought it is only my laptop's Kaspersky screaming like horse about Trojan whenever I tried to open IF but this is being reported by others as well.

Yes I am not surprised. Trojan virus was discovered quite sometime back and I guess it is one of those that cleverly hides in a corner. I have had to clean up my CPU and Hard Disks quite a few times.

Fortunately my office guys will do it for me and I normally tell them that their ani-virus software need upgrading.😆

those guys programming virus are normally working ahead, recently we had guys from France who hacked into the computer system of Big Bang expt going on in Europe bringing it to halt almost.

I am currently using ESET NOD32 Anti Virus. I remember there was a Worm virus which was worse and kept sending messages using our Address book. Should report this to the Admin section. I will let them know.

Is that screen about something to do with Adobe flashplayer etc. I get that screen too. It has two buttons to choose from - ok and settings.

Summer, good one - telling the iT team their anti-virus needs upgrading😆

ID, my hard drive almost crashed on me when I was in Dubai this July. Looks like a lot of desis access free songs or desi movie sites from work which sneaks some viruses in the system. This is waht the Dubai office IT helpdesk told me.
