[QCLUG] Virus in Ubuntu

[Arron Lorenz]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Thanks guys, I don't want to disappoint but I actually did know that it was
a crappy pop up website. I just enjoyed it... I was making a vague attempt
at being funny by contrasting the win.32 pop up ads (if you look close it's
telling me that I need to enable active-x support.) with the fact that I'm
running Ubuntu. Website's like that are the reason I have the computer over
at my mom's house running Ubuntu also.

I can just hear the phone call... Arron the computer popped up and told me
that it found a bunch of virus' and I payed the $50 that it was asking for
but it doesn't seem to work. Can you come and make the anti-virus program it
just told me to buy work??

Well guys that's all for my jokes today.
