VERIFIED Avoid F1 key while on the Internet

Computer guy here!

This is the first time in my life that I have EVER sent out an
email virus alert! I think this is the first one I've received
that may be real! I have not researched whether Microsoft and/or
other companies have issued an update. I'm sure they have but
just in case stay off the F1 key when using IE! As always,
practice safe computing!

Avoid F1 key while on the Internet

Received this "heads up" email. While browsing on the web, a
notice is given to press your F1 key that's across top left of
your keyboard, and usually means "Help". Not this time. It will
release a potent virus in your computer. If you don't press F1,
you will be reminded until you do. Just click on the little x on
the window, or close your browser totally - might even be better
to reboot.

Click on the SNOPES link below for further confirmation at of
this threat.

Do not press the F1 key no matter how many times your computer
asks you to.
