Okay, it's not really exclusive, but whatever. Good hook to get you to read this, no?

Either I already have viruses already, and they're just being tricky, or something is awry with the GMC. And yes, I'm intelligent enough to see that this didn't come from the GMC, although I'm supposed to think that it did. However, now that I look closely at the headers, it at least <i>looks</i> like it came through an Invision Power Board…

I find it suspicious that the GMC is also down while this is happening…

And by the way, do yourself a favor and <i>don't</i> go to that URL…I'm pretty sure it's spyware or a virus. I'm too cautious to check.

I think that the GMC might've downloaded Trojans or whatever automatically…here's ewido's summary of what was wrong:

More details at ten…or whenever AVG gets done scanning my 180GB computer.

<i>Later that night…</i>

Oops…kind of forgot about this. Anyways, AVG turned up negative, so I guess it's all good now.
