    Be cautious when visiting the original site. When I did, a pop-under ad installed the Vundo trojan on my system. Luckily, my anti-vir detected it, but, couldn’t remove it. I had to find vundofix.exe. That did the trick.

    I’m really impressed that they got the pink color of the pulp above the top row of “teeth”, which I assume consist of the white rind. That is some masterful planning.
