And guess what?
The other day I am on my computer in the bedroom and boom, I get ANOTHER notice that I’ve got a nasty bug on the machine and just click here to clear it out. This was not Windows Antivirus Pro...it was another name.
I, of course, am of the “fool me oncit/twicit” school so I quickly downloaded the program I used on the kitchen computer...”malwarebytes.org” I think it was, and cleared it right up.
This sort of program could fool people so easily. Evidently some computer site I am visiting is getting me these things but I’m a fairly typical web surfer. I did just join a game site so that seems a spot.
To me this is a crime and surely it would be easy to catch these people. Surely they have a credit card account in order to steal people’s money, you think?
At one point in my struggle, a “true” Windows’ warning did pop up.
“Warning-your system is under attack from a deceptive security ware system”, or some such statement.
It was a fleeting, short staid message.
After the computer's month long hibernation, the bug had vanished as if it had never even been here.
I cannot find a trace or record of this bug in my system.
