If you dont already have one a Spam blocker software would be very helpful.
Also it would be a good idea to contact the magazine site and let them know that
there site gave you a virus. I have a free spyware blocker software called
Spyware Terminator Its a pain in the butt when you install new software because
you have to allow all the parts of the software but I cant count how many
potiential viruses and spyware viruses it stopped. And that is also something
you need to scan for spyware. Not all viruses are just a virus. It quite
possibly could be spyware. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that your
computer restore goes well.

Subject: [Jerry O'Connell's Fan Club] Hello Magazine web site voting - don't do
it (potential Virus site)


If any of you have been voting at Hello Magazine I'd seriously consider
not visiting their web site.

I'd visited the Hello Magazine web site for a few days without
incident. This morning I logged on to do my daily vote and suddenly I
started to get a ton of odd virus ad pop-up web sites opening on my
desk top. And an actual virus downloaded to my computer in the midst of
it all becaue it was one that my virus software could not block.

So since the web site I was on when the virus web site popped up and
downloaded was Hello Magazine, I believe it came from there (a possible
ad link from their site?)

I'm not sure, but Hello Magazine may have second party ads on their
site. So, if any of the ads have harmful code embedded in them, you can
get a virus without even having clicked on the ad.

It may take days to rebuild my computer. All these years virus free
because I'm always hyper careful. But one snuck through.
