The most dangerous words on the Internet ... “click here”

Hope you got rid of it. That sucks.

Could be through the video but likely came from the Ads displayed.

I would install Ghostery on your browsers. Not foolproof, but keeps most of the questionable ads down. There will be some pages you may not be able to view (I can’t see examiner.com) but can live without seeing their 16 ads. You’d be shocked to see the number of trackers, etc. are on some of the “trusted” pages.

RE: Michelle Malkin newsletter has a virus attached to it.

I hope it’s not the Obola virus :)

Two things you should do. Always have the latest update to flash installed. Also, disable Java ( not Javascript) in your browser if you don’t need it.

As a computer developer by trade, I would question the following:

1) What do you see as ‘the virus’?
2) How do you know you have it.
3) How do you know it is on Michelle’s newsletter.
4) How do you acquire the newsletter.

please answer those four, before we can make any assumptions whatsoever.
