One of our guys in the office fell for the “your computer is infected click here to update your virus scan and delete this virus” scam. I always wondered what these viruses did and after he clicked it it just took over his machine. It shut down his own virus scan, you could not do a restore to a day or two earlier, you couldn’t get into task manager to close it, and it kept asking him for a credit card to pay for the update to the virus scan so the virus could be removed. I am no dummy around PC’s and it was just amazing how it took over his PC. We did a complete restore on it - wiped it clean.
