I've recently done a virus scan, and my antivirus is up to date, and all kinds of stuff like that. I still have no idea what would have initiated a download request without my being aware of it. And let's see, am I still able to use my computer? Let me see. :-) No, seriously, that was a creepy little experience. Oh, well (crossing fingers). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon B" <serrebi101@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 4:21 PM Subject: Re: something is trying to download to my system! a crack cannot automaticly give you a download message. You must have gotten something from somewhere else. You might want to make sure all your spiware and antivirus protection is up to date, and do a full system scan just in case. For all I know it could just be something you have installed, so don't get to overparanoid, especially if you can still use your computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 3:35 PM Subject: something is trying to download to my system! >I keep being interrupted by a download dialogue that asks me if I want to >go > ahead with my download of some file I never heard of and never requested > or > anything.
