For PC users..... Take Note!

Avoid F1 key ....when prompted to by your computer
I checked Snopes. This is a new virus as of March 2010. Please pass this on to everyone on your list.

Rec'd this "heads up" this morning . . . good thing not to do. While browsing on the web, a notice is given to press your F1 key (that's across top left of your keyboard, and usually means "Help". Not this time. It will release a potent virus in your computer. . . if you don't press F1, you will be reminded until you do.....but just click on the little 'x' on the window, or close your browser totally - might even be better to reboot.

Click on the SNOPES link below for further confirmation of this threat.

Do NOT press the F1 key no matter how many times your computer asks you to.
