I got a email from a friend with a link to a video feed. I clicked on it and my Windows Media Player started then I got a box saying it needed a code to play the clip. It asked if I wanted to download it and I said yes. I got 4 viruses and I don't know how much spyware. It changed my Internet Explorer security settings and my wallpaper on my desktop. Plus added all sorts of links all over the place. What saved me was I have Mcafee virus scan and firewall. I couldn't keep up with the firewall asking "this program wants to excess the Internet is it OK". I also have 3 spyware programs and all of them found over 500 spyware on my computer. Keep in mind I scan my computer almost daily so all this was put on with that one click. Now I wonder if all of it is gone because every spyware program finds things the other ones didn't. What else can I do?
