 Don't press that F1 key!!! Hi All Strange hole in Windows 2000 and Windows XP....a pop-up box asking you to press the F1 key on sites exploiting the bug. It repeatedly asks but don't give it.  Right now MS is saying just don't hit the F1 key until they get a fix out. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/981169.mspxCK

Re: Don't press that F1 key!!! Click on Ken's link there Richard and if puzzled use google to look up the term.
Very interesting read because if one does click on one of those little bastard boxes it causes a trojan type program (basically a small script) to install which renders the pc available to be used at the hacker's will.
