brambles Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't dare click on the link! My son managed to download a fake ms software tool onto my computer on Friday night and it took me 4 hours to sort it out! Can you tell us what it's to do with?

The Dogmother Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It will be either a site selling fake malaware software, and charging you a fortune, capturing your credit card details in the process, and/or one which will download some malaware onto your pooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambles Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 yep, sounds like the one my son downloaded! (btw, hi Clare! I currently have a cochin broody on bantam eggs, although she is a little like a work experience chicken, bless her) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If you keep your anti-virus regularly updated and run regular scans, there oughtn't to be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
