If You Used Hotel Internet..

[Myaj]

Just thought I'd post a

heads up...

JanS and I both had over 300 viruses/spambots loaded up on our computers

after plugging into the hotel's internet. I never even used it, just plugged in the cord, and

I still was loaded up.

So if you haven't already, I'd highly suggest running a

cleaner program like AdAware or Spybot Search and Destroy.

I had nothing

attempt to come across on my machine, but a little check never hurts.

So far I haven't seen

anything here either, but the warning is good, we'll be checking ours out! Thank

you!!!!

mine had no issues either,

totally clean after two days of usage

WOW.. glad I decided to take

the weekend off from using the internet.

Yes, we were loaded, and it was

definitely the hotel network. We were hard wired since my wireless card wouldn't work for some

reason, so maybe that was the difference?

I also posted about this in another thread

since I didn't see this one before, so I'll have to try to delete that part out of the

other one.
