I received something similar to it last week. I notified the admins about it and haven't seen the username of the person who sent to me pop up online since then, so I guess it's taken care of.

I got it too. Looked totally bogus to me, so no way I was clicking on that link.

Not to turn this into a technology thread, but I really like my McAfee Anti-virus. It's the active online edition that whenever a new virus is reported and updated by the engineers at McAfee, it's automatically updated to my pc. I have never had a virus problem and McAfee has caught many virus/trojans attempting to leach itself onto my pc.

I know some people don't trust this active style of anti-virus, but for people like me that won't go and manually update every other day, it's a perfect worry-free program. If McAfee knows what programs I'm running on my pc, I could care less.

Not on this site, but I have received similar PMs on other forums.

I remember when McAfee was a shareware product and not available in stores....McAfee and Quicken are two products that started out that way and turn in to comercial successes......

McAfee and Kaspersky are my two favs for anti-virus, although I have yet to test it by going to that site....

I just got a pm that said that. What's up with that. All my protection is up to date.
