Thanks. I feel like I'm being over run with caution.

Huh?

It's just a page that tells you what it is and how to get rid of it, nothing malicious about it.

I see nowhere it says that.
I'd be afraid to click on that page without that info.

Hmm, well to each his own level of paranoia.

I click on just about anything, but have security precautions in place. Not extreme about it though. NOScript, Windows firewall, Antivir (free version) and running a non-Microsoft brand browser along with updated plugins, I feel pretty safe. Haven't had a malware problem in many moons.

I was using Online Armor free firewall, but it had a conflict with 3DMark06 that caused a weird error so I shed it. I think anything that can install itself and run surreptitiously can probably beat any firewall's detection capabilities.
