[QUOTE="DaFlake, post: 1043159, member: 57419"] No, I am not kidding and common sense has nothing to do with it. There are viruses that will simply scan IPs looking for a system to infect (blaster comes to mind looking for open RPC ports). Your box is likely infected... For Windows AV is not an option. Malware is what you are thinking of which can be avoided if you are careful about what you click on. I'd say your common sense needs a little adjusting. ;) [/QUOTE]
