what is with this thing showing up everywhere? I don't believe I downloaded
it because it doesn't look legit. And I believe that I have read warnings
about downloading it.
My comp has been acting like something is slowing it down lately and my
e-mail account keeps showing returned mail that I never sent. Do I have a
bug or what? Terrorists....
