Default Can you tell if my computer has a virus?
I've been getting private messages saying:
"Hello, friend. There are viruses' activities from your computer in last few days."
All I do is occasionally post without links, pictures, etc. The PMs have a link.

Sounds like an ad trying to get you to click on something, probably a naughty site of some sort

Don't click on the link in the PM.

Just delete it. It's a spammer - you're not the only one getting the messages and Steve's taking care of it.

Most computer problems are the result of a problem between the chair and the keyboard.
