One of our news members has a website that contains a video. In order to view the video, you are asked to download a viewer program. This program has a bad history of containing a Trojan horse type virus. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! It is very difficult to find and even more difficult to eliminate from your computer. NEVER download any programs without knowing the source. I learned the hard way. I downloaded the same program from a My Space member and it took me a week to find it and eliminate it... and I have a corporate grade Internet firewall, ad blocker, and virus scanner. I run a total system scan every day. Just a friendly warning.
