Hummingbird, people who understood what was going on better than you
tried to explain to you that there is no malware to worry about.

For example, see: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5vlark

All you are doing now is putting forward an old argument of yours even
though it has been conclusively shown to be false.

Surprisingly, you were running with no antivirus software at all and
using an old unpatched version of IE. Yet you were not infected by any
malware capable of doing any harm.
