I would like to remind everyone that Dawgs.com parent company is in the Internet Security business. This alert today is very real! I pass it along since I know you guys look at a lot of You Tube videos.

WARNING
An aggressive and damaging virus is currently spreading the Internet in the form of infected YouTube videos. These videos cause the user’s web browser to download dangerous malware (malicious software) called “Antivirus 2009.”

What You Should Do

1. Avoid using YouTube or sites with ‍embed‍ded YouTube videos as much as possible for the next few days.

2. Close any pop-ups referencing “Antivirus 2009”. This can damage and wipe out your entire system if allowed to load.

3. Be on the lookout for pop-ups from your browser or other indications that malware is trying to download to your PC.

4. As always, please use judgment and exercise caution when using the Internet.

I heard about that yeasterday! Thanks!

I do some anti-virus consulting for the university. Anitvirus 2009 isn't that bad. Annoying more than anything. If you do get infected with it download Malwarebyte's Antimalware tool and/or ComboFix (both are free). These will find and remove the infection when other commerical scanners (AVG, F-Secure, McAfee, Norton etc.)can't even find it.
