you guys have yet to fail me, so im positive you can help me with this! smile.gif im in the progress of trying to just completely switch over to linux (Ubuntu). im VERY happy with this OS. the other day i was browsing the web via Firefox, and all of a sudden i get some screenshot of a Microsoft Windows window saying it's scanning for spyware, need to download this to get rid of it, etc. I've tried to google some virus/spyware stuff for it but to no avail really. I can still use the computer, just not Firefox. any ideas?
