"Seedabutor" new malware that redirects legitimate web searches to infectED sites has been spreading.

This message comes with offer to upgrade.

Is anyone familiar with or worried about this supposedly problem.
Thanks again for any input.

I have all free security software.

Boo, nothing to worry about. The free virus protectors are rated very, very high by PC magazine and other top sources. When you see those upgrade messages from sites you're not sure about, DO NOT click on them. It's that easy to avoid this stuff.

It's a good generalrule that if something pops up on your computer DO NOT click on it.
