55201 2002-06-19 11:11:00 At the same time as I received my first porn-type e-mail, a small window appeared on my desktop saying - you need a new version (but doesn't say what of) - I have have tried to delete it with the 'x' but to no avail. It has an active 'ok' button but I am suspicious and reluctant to hit ok.Is this a virus? or something sinister? or am I being too careful.
In the body of the window is the big red x and - you are running an older version of this program. Please download the latest version.- with the ok below
Any suggestions?
Regards jeff.

Just click the title in the taskbar, the hold alt and F4, this should close the window.

If the icon is not in the taskbar, hold alt and tab, until the ad is on top, the depress alt and F4
