False virus scan alert ...

	This one isn't from MMish .. it's something I've experienced a couple of times during the past few weeks and has always happened when I've had TOW up in the background, though I've heard it also strikes with other internet programs. A window appears telling you that your machine is under attack and to click on the scan button to get the correct protection. DO NOT CLICK! Also don't try to X it out .. it won't work. Click Crtl +Alt + Delete (one after the other but holding them all down) and you'll find you can start Task Manager. Mark each internet program you have running there and cancel them. To be safe run your virus scan before opening Internet again.
