    When Puppets...... Virus?

    I got this message from my wife a few minutes ago,
    Just thought I'd let you know.
    I got into my e-mail this a.m. and there was this thing there called "When Puppets Strike Back" by Lipton Brisk it was sent on Monday.
    At any rate it keeps telling me that my computer has performed an illegal move and shuts it down.
    I'm not going to send it to you.
    Has anyone heard of this or received it. I searched Google and Symantec but found no reference.

    the reference between Lipton Brisk and Puppets is this ad campaign using animated puppets...

    but that doesn't help finding out what the reason the computer malfunctioned. Perhaps it was some kind of corrupted/unplayable media file because the ads were on tv?

    Thanks, fink. That's probably it. I don't watch much TV and I hate Iced Tea so I never made the connection.

    I suppose it has some imbedded flash movie that she hasn't the right version of Shockwave for.
