Default Goggle

I heard on the news earlier this morning goggle got hacked in to. They attached spyware that makes you think you're opening something but in reality you're loading spyware to your computer that allows them access to your computer.

Goggle says to make sure your spyware protection is up to date till this is resolved.

Just tyring to give anyone who uses goggle the heads up.
