Damn you, DeviantArt!

I was on DeviantArt today and may have gotten a damn fake security virus!!! It gave a warning and I had accdentally clicked Okay. As soon as I did that, I ripped my Wireless card out and shut off the computer (with the button, not start menu).

I don`t know if I stopped it, but I want to know if this happened to anyone? It was a XP Security 2010 from what I`ve seen others post. Needless to say, I change my mind about making an account. Stupid dA...

Unsafe internet is unsafe.

I think I've seen that one before. I've encountered it in more places than just dA.

It's okay, I think I shut my computer down fast enough, there's no sign of the virus. Phew.
