I left this post up just in case anyone clicked the link.  The link is actually the virus.  If you downloaded and ran the file, please run a virus scan and ensure that you're computer is not infected.

Remember, never trust any links or virus information that is not put out by a reputable and verifiable source.

I nominate Lost as a reputable source. He's also verifiable.

And he's completely correct. If you see a post from someone you don't know regarding a topic that's irrelevant to this board, it's spam. The last thing you want to do is click on a link.

As a general rule: Anything on the internet that tells you that you (may) have a problem and offers to help will be the cause of the problem.
