My friend's son has his own PC. He looked for information about Macintosh in Wikipedia. His son pressed the dodgy link in the "References" thing. Then an download popup appeared that says "press me to get a free macintosh." He was like "OMG A FREE MACINTOSH OS? YES PLZ PLZ PLZ!!!" He clicked the button, downloaded it, opened it and BAM! The virus is on now. Anyone know how to fix it?
Good thing he has 3 iPads, and 3 more PC's...
