I hear that 'sleep' thing you mentioned is supposed to be a Good Thing.

It must be: I couldn't stop laughing...

I just had to share that one. I was in the process of hitting <delete> when I got a good look at the "remove" URI...

No, I haven't followed the links. ...and I'd suggest you have your virus definitions updated if you do, as I'm reminded of another quote from the man who made "This way to the egress" famous.

Social Engineering...

I don't usually bother with virus alerts and such on this site; I prefer to leave the geek stuff over on the main site....

...but if you're a Windows user (no; don't go there), you may find an email in your in-box purporting to be a vote about whether or not to live in peace (Subject: Fwd:Peace BeTweeN AmeriCa and IsLaM!).

There'll be plenty of peace for you if you click on the executable: the next reboot will land you with no files in your Windows directory...

Information here; as of Monday evening, I hadn't seen a removal tool. As usual, Dave has a comment or two about the matter...
