Yeah that crap has been going on for months, totally pissed me off. One guy at work got it (it said something about diet pills) and he was overweight and got upset because he thought someone from the company had sent it as a joke to his computer. He was kinda mad :/

I've gotten that trash twice.
Once it really pissed me off cuz I was play DoD and that shit minimized my window, and when that happens I lose my sound, so I had to exit the game and go through the process of finding a good server all over again.
Can anyone tell me how to disable that?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out.

I keep clicking on the OK button but nothing happens. :confused:

Where's my PlanetSide porn? I wanna see hot nekid chicks in a helmet and boots.

I haven't had that problem yet. Maybe it is because of my firewall?
