VIRUS REMINDER: Orbit Downloader???

I received an email from someone who says they installed Orbit Downloader and their system froze up and they cannot reboot.

I have been using Orbit for over a year and a half and have never had any problems.

However, yesterday morning AVG Anti-Virus did pop a message reading there was a Trojan virus caught from Orbit - I of course removed it right away and rescanned with AVG and a online scanning site. I was clean.

Please be careful - update your definitions daily and scan regularly, if not everyday.

A virus in your system is a BUMMER, as most of us know!!!
