IE6-> defeated, IE7 -> defeated, Chrome -> defeated.... Mac -> pwned virus

I finally downloaded firefox because of this =____= But for some reason flash won't work, so I am surfing with FF and zomg watch youtube videos on IE.......... So many plug ins and junk to install D;

Anyways here're the solutions.

its not really a virus... its more so just spyware... but thats only if you download it.. if you downloaded anything that would be the only reason to worry... other than that its just junk... nothing that'll grab yer personall info... i'm more of a threat to you than these pop ups twisted

*edit* I like how Nura comes out of hiatus to scare the s**t out of everybody! xd

I am not the one who freaks you out D; I freaked out too. Whatever it is, still annoying D; I can't sneak around with this happening!! (coughIthoughtaboutfullhiatusbecauseofthiscough) So I just posted to ask what this is.

By the way this firefox flash thing is really not working..... help?

Thanks girl but say it when I am really back on the 10th >.>

EDIT: Why would anyone go through all that scanner thing just to give you a spyware when they can install it without you even knowing.......

I get that virus scanner-thing crap when I use Google Chrome. I'm not sure what to do to protect myself while using it. :

And lately I've been pretty much forced to use Chrome instead of FF because lag is horrible for some reason for me lately on FF.

Maybe it's all that Booty Grabbin' I'm doing. Dunno. ninja
