i'm sure i posted this before, but I forgot where.
anyways, I was looking for a car enthusiasts chatroom,
namely bmw. And so i went and searched for BMW chatrooms
in google. Now, I know this sounds stupid, but I don't
read link discriptions. and i clicked on each link, the
third one down took me to some strange site, and before i
knew it, it said I was being under investagation!?
I went back there to see what was going on, it didn't pop
up again. Could anybody tell me what's going on? i would
contact microsoft, but I don't want to allow them to
access my computer, like it says i must let them. So any
help would be appreciated. my e-addy is
(e-mail address removed).

You definately posted this yesterday, and it was answered by myself and one
other person.
[note, I've cc'd this answer to your email but please reply to the

Taking your questions in reverse order,
1. Its nothing to do with Microsoft. Contacting them won't help.
2. If your google search is the same as the google search I just did (
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=bmw+chat+rooms&spell=1)
when I read your question, can you really truly honestly tell me you
didn't think that clicking on it might be a problem?

Why not try contacting the website host?"

Kazaa - Software update services for your Viruses and Spyware.
 
It is just another stupid popup designed to get you to buy software to
"protect" yourself. It was a lie, don't worry about it.
As always, be sure to download the free programs "Spybot Search and Destroy"
and "AdAware" to clear out any spyware from your computer, and run an
up-to-date antivirus program continually.
