You should run a scan of your system straight away, Chee. I did. That scared me to see that red banner pop-up window appear, then this other system check window over it, and then to hear this audio come on out of nowhere telling me malware has been detected on my system. My antivirus didn't find anything. I'm wondering if I should run something that may be more thorough than Windows Defender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My antivirus didn't find anything. I'm wondering if I should run something that may be more thorough than Windows Defender? So an audio came on? It's a scam; they will tell you they're microsoft too. They are not; Microsoft doesn't contact one if there is a virus. Btw, Windows Defender is not antivirus although it will detect malware and some other stuff. I do suggest you get PC Matic, which I am switching to when my Norton subscription is up. PC Matic is highly rated and works against ransomware, which most AVs do not. You can rid yourself of that bug you picked up by restoring your system to a point before today. Just use System Restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a woman's voice started speaking as soon as the red bannered window popped and the system warning window did too. I thought it was a system part of the Defender. I'll check PC Matic and run it. Thank you. TTYL. Hopefully on a computer that's not been effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to get rid of that little bug. Did you do a System Restore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sad that she became an atheist. Truthfully, she doesn't strike me as very smart though. Cool username, SW, and welcome to Worthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it makes your heart skip a beat thinking you've just had your computer compromised. Thank you for telling me about that. Yes, I restored my system to last night. And I'm now running a scan with the PCMatic that I downloaded. Hoping for the best and that your guess is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't her father a pastor too? Which would be doubly sad that she's turned atheist. I'll look for that because I'm sure it had to make news of some sort. I knew something was wrong when of all things Russel Brand divorced her! As crazy wild as he is and he divorced her? Via a text message letting her know that he was going to file no less.

A friend has been a subscriber to that magazine for years and told me about it. I had to search out this quote from that article. "Listen," she says, "if the Illuminati exist, I would like to be invited! I see all that ____, and I'm like, 'Come on, let me in! I want to be in the club!' I can't link the Rolling Stone article because it would be inappropriate for all that's included on their page where this interview appears.

Oh, and don't ever call the people or let anyone have remote control of your computer. I know someone who did that and ended up paying fifty dollars for stuff he didn't need; there WAS no virus. They get you on some websites with this fake virus alert, which is malware. We have to be vigilant all the time and having a strong antivirus is key. I'm only dumping Norton because they have nearly doubled their yearly price but they have kept me virus free for five years. PC Matic is in the top three, btw. Downloading AdBlocker helps too and it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
