WARNING! I had a "trojan virus" pop up this morning on my computer

That same message came up at work! I contacted IT and they took care of it. (I didn't click on it.)

Yes...even though it happened at home, the IT guy here at work is slapping me upside the head. He says I should know better. We are so trained at work not to click on anything but I let my guard down at home

I laugh whenever those things pop up due to the fact that I use Linux.

Also, its not a popup at all. Its embedded into the web page, so your popup blocker cannot block it.
