Just planning on finishing up making stuff for the fundraiser, cleaning, maybe groceries and a walk for the dogs. But what I really feel like doing is what Stella is doing....take a nap!! We don't know yet if John is working today, I guess we'll just wing it for today. Nothing too much else going on. Oh...if by any chance you get a pop up saying your computer is infected with spyware, don't "X" it out! Using ALT F4 will get rid of the pop up. If you "X" it out, you will become infected with the Antivirus 360 worm. Not to be confused with Norton 360. Even though I had virus protection....by xing it out, I gave it "permission" to access my computer. It is extremely hard to get rid of...even Norton Software can't get rid of it. It is apparently running rampant right now....so be careful. It can ultimately crash your computer and cause you to lose valuable documents.

PS....the answers for the St Patty's Day Quiz are in the comments.

HELP!!!! I think Nathans computer has the virus you are referring to! I "x'd" out of the pop-up box and we're having a terrible time with it!! Any suggestions on getting rid of it would be extremely helpful!

If you google "removing Antivirus 360" or "Antivirus 360" it will bring up different instructions on how to remove it. But it might take you a while to find one that the virus will actually let you open. I didn't feel computer saavy enough, so we just took it to our computer guy...it only cost us like $60.00.
