    On facebook someone is complaining that the windows security software is giving malware alerts and he is demanding it to get fixed.

    i said it was not as a big deal because other bbs softwares get this issue too.

    This is true. I had the same thing happen 3 days ago (YES, 3 DAYS), and just disregarded it. No bots from Russia yet! <grin>
