Ok.I was happily going through my fave review site when my AVG told me I have a virus.exploit.wmf.I quickly moved it to my virus vault and then did a disk clean up to delete all of my Temporary internet files.after I did that,I panicked a little more,tried searching microsoft,then panicked again and came back to all my good old BYOND buddies for help.So if anyone knows what exploit.wmf does,if it's fatal and how to remove it,please help me out here....*does a bit more panicking...*
