Asked by renee hinds

A Firefox browser page popped up, and said that my WINDOWS SECURITY WAS AT RISK. I am only running Ubuntu... It said that viruses were found in my Documents, and C drive.... Should I be concerned????????? and should I format/reinstall UBUNTU and start all over.... I have nothing in the computer that I am afraid of losing....

I had the same thing happen, I run Clam TK anti virus and it came up with no threats, I did this for' just in case' sake. But one thing has happened , my Evolution has emptied all my past emails, the page is blank, and will not open new emails even though I can send email but with no record, the only things remaining are the few contacts that I had entered at the start. This all too weird.
