Maybe they'll talk about it on the news...but I didn't catch its name...

This could be weapons testing...Its too professionnal for it to be just from a hacker...

Its partly my fault, I ran a downloaded executable from a popup, and for the life of me I cannot remember what it was. Something I have never done before, but you know what the moral of this story is.

If I remember, I will post it...
