Washing Up
Everyone, please be aware of this bogus software!!
If you visit websites that bombard you with those annoying pop-ups, this is how it can get in. Even if you have a pop-up blocker and it's activated, this bogus supposedly friendly software tries endlessly and persistantly to force its way into your computer!!
It mainly comes from websites that are sleezy, or websites that feature clips and actors from old TV shows like Diff'rent Strokes, Family Ties and stuff like that.
What it does, is that it pops up on your computer's screen as saying; "Warning!! Your computer could be infected with a Virus or Spyware! Take action against it now!
Then when you try to close it out, it won't go away! It tells you that you could have over 100 or so viruses and worms and other stuff! Then it starts supposedly "scanning" your pc for any supposed viral infections. It tells you that it will do it for free - then after the supposed scanning, they hit you with a charge of $50.00!! That says if you want to see the results of the supposed scan, you must pay them the money up front first!!
And even then, they want your e-mail address, and once you give it to them, that could very well open the door to you being bombarded with junk e-mails!! I even had to shut down the computer and reboot to try to get them out!
I had an extremely hard time trying to get them out of the computer! But I managed to do it. I even considered restoring it back to an earlier date, but I tried other options first to get them out. But instead, I ran a virus scan through Norton Ant-Virus to get them out. Norton had detected them as a danger to the pc, so I trusted Norton to protect me from them and it did.
Actually, Norton Internet Security helped me get them out. Stay away from websites that you normally don't go to, especially those ones that bombard you with endless pop-ups! This is the true sign and work of a dangerous hacker, virus, spyware, or a blaster worm trying to invade your pc! Take no chances and don't fall for for their gimicks like I did!!
They claim to be better than Norton, but there is no record on file supporting their controversial claims! At least I haven't seen any.
