I was looking for free sounds to use in a Flash animation and happen upon a web site that tried to infect my PC with a trojan. Norton Anti Virus caught it, but it still creeps me out.

This is what it tried to download:

The payload that it attempts to run is a keylogger.

I think maybe it's time I get my parents PC Antivirus software...

I think it might be time for you to purchase your own copy of anti-virus software.

Is that what you meant to say?

No, I don't think that I can convince anyone who doesn't believe this kind of stuff is out there.

I just think that it's about time I did something to make sure that my parent's PC doesn't fall victim to it. My parents take it all to casually. They think a computer virus, trojans, and this kind of stuff only happens in the news to someone else.
