This was on a friend's machine today. Any ideas?



<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Today I rebooted My computer and a warning popped up and said ....You have 8 users if you proceed you shut them down....at the top of the warning it said ...SHARING....Does this mean someone is getting on my computer......Also when I rebooted my computer I had two new icons on my desktop from two of these gambeling sites<hr></blockquote>



Thanks

That computer has a Trojan on it. It received it because this friend of yours hasn't run the Windows Updates in a year or so and they hit a malicious web site.



Run a full and current antiviral scan and also run AdAware on it.
