Has anyone so far been attacked by this? I have twice now. First time didn’t have avast loaded and had to reinstall my windows. The second time I was attacked I had avast loaded (Free Version) and it blocked it somewhat… gave me enough time to shut my PC down and save myself a headache. Twitter links are sources of fishing links for the spyware, as well as, Facebook, and looking up images on the internet. I advise everyone to avoid needless web searches until this threat is neutralized. I am thankful for avast, now more then ever.

Best thing to do is back up personal files as you make or change them on media not always connected to your system.
