Congrats on finding this FReeper's problem. While reading this thread something you said rang a bell with me:I think the message was from Malware or something, pretending to be an AV program Yes, thats one of their MO’s

I clicked on an unkown website the other day, and got a meesage box offering to DL an AV software, all the while my window was opened to My Computer and showed flashing numbers of "bugs" on my C & D drives. It would not let me X out of it and re-flashing more messages when my cursor went near the X. I suspected something was attacking my machine, so I shut down, and re-started. Everything seems fine since.... Your take on this, please? Did I handle it right or do I have some malware or something now that I am not aware of?
