This could be common knowledge,
but I was trying out AVast(anti-virus software) and it popped up this message.



Apparently while other people are
putting shaving cream on sleeping friends,
stealing your TP, and replacing your conditioner
with dish soap. Hackers are launching an attack on your PCs.

Its supposedly going to be the launch day of a new virus that attacks the Microsoft Operating system.

So be wary of where you tred and keep that antiviral up to date.
Or atleast thats what one site suggests...

I'm actually implying that this is rather old news.
This warning comes out every year, and has come out every year since the pinnacle of Norton's career.
