DON'T OPEN THE "If you're at work" link that Coach Knight has posted as it's firstly a popup hell trap but more importantly it drops a virus into your browser cashe and for those suckers like me who already did open the link ,clear out your cashe and update your AV then scan your system . I use Norton Systemworks 2003 and it picked up the virus (thankfully) but if you're using something older it may not , best to update then check.

What version of norton are you using Xanne?
My Norton picked it up when I tried to restart my browser ( I use Opera) and blocked access to it .It's called JS.WINBOMB.d . go here to find out about it http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/js.winbomb.d.html

If you're AV is an older version , PM me and I'll organise to get a copy of systemworks 2003 to you if you like
