Default Fireball?
I clicked on ebay today and my pc went nuts? Everything started blinking and an alarm sounded ? !
I'm going to run my norton to check for viruses but does anyone have any idea what is going on?
An error message popped up with something about a fireball?
Only one email opened today, from someone I know, no attachments.......

Was it a pop-up? I went on iwon.com the other day at work, and a pop-up ad for a casino went off. The slot machine alarm was going off. I was like "WTH?". Then I realized it was a darn pop-up (the embedded kind).

I wish it was a pop up. My whole screen went black, then the message about the fireball came up, and that message was from my system.
My curser seized up and I had to reboot

Ohhh, I've never heard of that before. It obviously doesn't sound good. Let us know what you find out!
