Avoid the F1 key
True. Check link. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/f1key.asp (http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/f1key.asp)
Rec'd this "heads up" this morning . . . good thing not to do. While browsing on the web, a notice is given to press your F1 key (that's across top left of your keyboard, and usually means "Help". Not this time.
It will release a potent virus in your computer. . . if you don't press F1, you will be reminded until you do. . .just click on the little 'x' on the window, or close your browser totally - might even be better
