In the U.S. Politics Topic: Vote for Mr. Chang there is a link that I believe has a virus. When I clicked on it (on another machine) it started by kicking me out of the net, and when I went back in I got a notice about a hard drive failure that wanted me to click on it to clean up the problem.

In the past, when I ran across a similar warning, clicking on the link installed a root virus that took me weeks to repair.

Please look at this link and check it out for viruses.

I had no notification or warning and am up to date on virus definitions.
