I would check/scan your PC for malware and virus!

Thanks for posting the warning. I'm unaware of this and haven't received such a pop up ad. If you deleted it without 'opening' it, you should be O.K. However, Joef's advice is sound. Check for malware/virus. Hopefully there won't be anything. I apologize for using a clichÃ© but: 'better safe than sorry'.

LOL!!
I got me a laptop just before my surgery and was thinking of a Mac. Honestly though, I know NOTHING about them and didn't have the time & patience then to try to figure it out. Mac have less hassles I take it? (with malware, etc)
