Basically a trick video messaage thing going round on Social Networking sites, when you click to play the video a Captcha comes up (Tells the difference between a computer of human), if you do not get the correct Captcha in 3 minutes your computer freezes etc.

Actually I am not living in fear..

I am warning people against the attack, whether viruses are easy to get rid of or not (normally are), it's always nice to know what thw virus is, and the best way to fight. 'lol'

The stupid organic material between keyboard and chair is the reason this sort of thing spreads. Don't click on "omglookatthispictureofyoulol.exe".

While not particularly related to this situation, the same principle still applies.
