Subject: * Warning* Uproar Acrophobia infecting pc's with Trojans and worms!!!

Last night a friend and I went to play acro for the first time in ages. Part way through the game he got a virus alert... and after reading the 50plus acro forum it seems he is not the only one! Somehow through spyware that Uproar is using, and or through the advertisers pop ups, It is spreading trojans and worms. And not only one type either. People are reporting different versions. I have no idea why it didn't effect me? Possibly because I not only run Norton's but a firewall too? But I'm not gonna take the risk of going back.

If you want to go read whats been happening to people from the 50plus acroers here is the URL (forum is not very user friendly but will give you an idea of what's been happening ) http://acro50plus.netfirms.com/
