Thanks for the heads up Zen00. I have come across stuff like that online and it can be scary even to someone who has been malware knowledgeable for years. The only part of the article that I have a problem with is the garlic up my sleeves is starting to be a bit uncomfortable.

To be honest, all I knew about Twighlight is that the lead actor is nothing more than a hairstyle with a fixed expression.

But since it's so popular, it's unsurprising fans are being targeted.
