https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=30435
and today i got exact same email and clicked on the link but nothing else happened... and i dont' know what happened, did i alow a worm or some ---- into my computer or what, because i rad somewhere that you should NEVER CLICK ON A LINK IN AN EMAIL. here is a link to that

if you're worried that much run spysweaper. i ran it on my computer and it said i had 800+ spy ***** linked to my computer. i've never had any problems with any account that i look at, but since a friend gave me a copy of spysweaper i ran it and it deleted all the spyware my computer had. don't worry about the paypal thing, aslong as you didn't type in your paypal id and password. i definately recomend running spysweaper though.

The best way that I was told by a few of my friends in IT and has worked great is using a combination of Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy. Each program is great, if you use both they can pick up on a couple things one of them might have missed. Get them both at www.download.com
