AVOID THAT LINK!!
Should anyone get this warning - if using Windows
1. Immediately clear all Internet Explorer temporary files, (tools > internet options >general (tick 'delete all offline content also)
and
2. In Control Panel open 'Java' and clear all temp files there also.
If affected get AVG anti-virus free edition from
www.grisoft.com
if your system or Internet Explorer is already trashed
also get a new browser from www.opera.com
(or Firefox from www.mozilla.com/firefox)
download from a friends computer and install from a key-drive.
Any further queries please PM me. |

See the following for virus/malware removal:

AVG is great BUT you do need an anti-malware product like Ewido running in parallel ... highly recommended - from experience, buy a licence for it! |
