WARNING Anti spyware 2009

[nazimundo]

If this message comes up on your computer DO NOT CLICK ON IT as it will take over your browser and it's very hard to get rid of.

When it comes on it tells you that your computer is in danger and may be infected with a virus.

I made the mistake of clicking on it on the desktop computer.

I have downloaded Spybot search and destroy and am scanning for adware etc so hopefully that should sort it out

There is some information on the Gardeners corner forum about this.

I'll let you know what happens

Thanks for the warning Alfie, hope members will take note!

Thank you for the warning, but I use either www.sophos.com or just simply hit the delete button without even bothering to open them, while there are some who will trust any of these warnings. No offence Alfie, but a friend of ours kept getting these warnings, opened them and got caught. More money to get computer put right.

This did not come as a warning Mikkel it just appeared on the screen and it does not matter if you either open it or try to delete it you end up stuck with it the only thing to do is not click on it at all.
After several hours of downloading and running Spybot search and destroy it was still there, I have done two other things (1)downloaded Firefox to use as my browser and (2) went to add remove programes and removed it which left another program which said if I removed it my computer might not work properly, I removed that programe as well and everything seems to be ok now. Before I ran Spybot I could not remove it as it did not show up on the add/remove list

I'm off to bed now for a much deserved sleep.
