Pretty much the same thing happened to me, and I wasn't even on my own computer. Not saying it's D&D's fault, but it happened right after going on their site and just a little while before the warning started showing up.
No doubt that it was NOT D&D's fault. I was just letting them know that a virus is in their site. Someone had to have hacked it or something. It's a bad virus as well. Yeah I didn't get the warning until it was too late.

Actually, yeah, let me re-word. I know it is NOT their fault, I don't suspect them of wanting to maliciously destroy the computers of the magic community.
I just hope it's fixed soon.

Virus or no virus, don't you guys have Anti-Viruses? Enabled firewalls (those of you who are on PCs, anyway)?
What happened to some of you sucks, but either your Anti-Virus software was outdated or non-existing, since I'm on their site almost every day and although I did get the warning nothing happened to my computer.
According to google it appears to be a CPA virus (connents to cpa.info.**), which means it's really unlikely it will affect your system in the way you described (wiped files/removed internet shortcuts). It's designed to make money, not to kill your computer.
