    I like it how people try to rip off products.Then it most likely turns out to be a nasty virus.I ran into a few of these nasty's in my day.

    Kes, I think mjnc is referring to the fact that your 2-snake avatar is a Caduceus, which as that article illustrates is often misinterpreted as the true single-snake Rod of Asclepius (the original "medical" symbol).

    Doctor Kestrel sounds cool, doesn't it? ;)

    I thought for a minute the Malwarebytes that my pc updated to was fake because the logo changed. I actually stopped the update and when to the official site, then I questioned for a second if even the real site was the real site or if it got hacked because the logo changed. I mean who just goes and changes a logo??? :-D :-D

    Be careful when you spin in circles like that - those stilettos might trip you, cause you grave bodily harm...

    Visions of pink hair flyin', just a-spinnin' around, the voice tinkling "Is THIS the real site or is THIS the real site?!?"

    Well, now we're even.
    I don't know what an "Emma Moment" is, but I'm quite familiar with "senior moments".

    Never play Caliban or mjnc at Trivial Pursuit ;) :wave

    Who else knew the American Medical Symbol was wrong because it has two snakes rolleyes

    They say you should try to learn something new everyday and I just read about Caduceus and Asclepius so my day's learning is done :-D

    Hmmm.......1:15am time for a nip of Chivas and off to bed ;)
