Title: Beware a new Spyware Spoof
Post by hazelnut on Sep 21st, 2009 at 2:22pm
Total Secure with a Red Shield Logo!! >:( :(

Beware if you get a message popping up saying that a website you have visited may not be secure or safe to use, In my case it was the Tortosa Forum :-/ :-/

It looks as though it has come from Windows as a security alert, but it is infact a Spyware scam, under no circumstances click to open it up, if you can't get round it close your computer down

It took my Spyware Doctor 30 mins to find a hidden file and quarantine it, if you can't quarantine the link it will keep telling you sites are unsafe, such as the TF eBay and all sorts of totally safe sites, it is a real pain, took me half a day updating and scanning to get rid of it

Be Warned!!
