Second life is a legit program that has been written up in all the major money magazines. It contains no virus.
go to
www.secondlife.com and on the bottom left of site under "news" you can read all the reviews yourself.
Your PC flashing may be that you were at the wrong site, as there are many psuedo sites that cause this window to come , its an advertisement for antivirus software this happens often if you mis type a website.
Second life does require a recent pc to run.
Meaning that it is graphic intensive. You can look at the requirements on their website however, I have known people who have run it on less of a pc either way it will NOT cause your PC to "crash". Your graphics may freeze if your graphics card is old but thats old.
Tommorow there will be an update on the replica. I understand that they are also profiling some survivors for all their hard work such as Virginia, Richard, Wes, and many others.
I understand many have come by the replica building and gone through it while they were building it, asking questions and reading and many had a very shocked response when they learned of what happened for the first time.
From what I understand it is reaching people all over the world including reporters.
