re: "Ridiculous" Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 7:00 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sekirt (297 messages posted) I ask this in jest...did you hack my computer? Reason I ask, I picked up a trojan! Dec 3, 2009 @ 2:36am. First ever. Some coincidence! Our discussions and then Wham! a trojan shows up! (Just kidding about you hacking my computer). Bad one, took me a couple days to fix. Was looking up lyrics to a song at some website. Not enough to make me switch to Linux though.
