Recently my McCaffee has been freaking me out warning me about a file in my Temporary Internet File called ULTIMATEBB[2]. It can't delete or quarantine it, and I looked it up on google and no one seems to have heard of it.

Any help?

EDIT: upon reviewing the replies to Virus Help? the subject has been suitably changed.

You were in that Priorities thread, weren't you?

I hit delete, quarentine, stop, and delete again. It also helps if you leave that page. [Wink]

But I'll be curious what others say, too.

Yeah, what's with that thread? What is it (if anything) doing to my computer?

I wondered if it was an April Fool's thing, but I honestly would never have connected it to the good, simple folk at Hatrack.

I guessed it was. Is it?

Absolutely no damage has been done: the thread uses a method of linking that disguises what site its linking to if you're using certain browsers. I knew there was a patch, but I didn't realize it would be so alarming in its effects. Count as an unintentional intensification of the prank.

And yeah, I wrote that article. Feel free to pass it along if you haven't done anything already...it's your patriotic duty to fool at least one person before midnight.

I didn't even click on a link! You managed to do that just by linking it?
