Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.I checked my laptop a while ago. My laptop's fine. I should probably check the other computers in the house though.
The two computers I have access to are both reading "Clean". I should ask my brothers if they've checked their machine.
This sounds so much like a trap.
"HURRY! click on that link, or else bad things will happen!"
If it's a trap, list me under "fooled", cause how am I supposed to doubt something like that when even the canadian/american government starts a website to clear your comp...
