is this a virus?
i was just talking to someone on msn and as i was talking i was trying to open internet explorer, as i did about 15/16 pages opened on their own and wouldnt close, in one of the windows i noticed it said 'teabaging - wikipeadia' (or however you spell it) i still couldnt close any of the windows and had to restart my pc.
has anyone any ideas about what just happened? |

Re: is this a virus?

Re: is this a virus?
I think Emzt has avg (i may be wrong) and thats what stopped me passing it on to her when i had it... have you had a look at my msn virus thread to see if its the same one? Its pretty easy to get rid of (i managed lol)
