I bet that whatever is trying to be sold will only remove cash from your wallet, not a virus. A lot of new Malware is effecting any PC using IE. Some of it is real hard to find, and your Antivirus software will miss most of it. On Saturday, July 17, 2004 at 8:07 am, Mike wrote: >I have been getting a window open up(uninvited) when I use IE.
