What the hell?
As I'm looking through profiles on AIM, I get a message on the bottom of the window that says "Warning: Links may contain viruses or trojans." I thought the only people that should fear Trojans were Greeks.

But yesterday my McAfee virus scan told me that I had the Trojan virus. Probably got it through my email. But it was eradicated. If you have a good virus scanner you will be alerted to any viruses. I don't use AOL messenger. I use MSN.

Greg read that and by the end of the night had a thing in his profile that said "Remember, links may contain viruses or trojans" and you clicked on trojans and it took you to trojancondoms.com
