I received a “heads up” from a friend, so I went to snopes.com (independently from the link below) and it is confirmed. Apparently while on the internet you may get a pop up box prompting you to push the “F1” key (normally the “Help” key. This will release a virus into your computer. DO NOT PUSH F1. Microsoft has confirmed the but has not yet released a patch to fix it. Apparently the pop up box may just keep popping up and annoying you but DO NOT PUSH F1. Just click the X to get rid of the box. Closing out of the program and going in again may keep it from popping up again for a while, but no promises.
Do not press the F1 key no matter how many times your computer asks you too.

Thanks for the heads up. It's always good to be aware of these things.
