Security Tool

If you ever see a site offering to scan your computer with this generic sounding program run like Forrest Gump. I've just spent the last couple of hours clearing this off my friend's computer as it would not let him open any other programs even task manager, just keeps putting up reports that whatever you open is trying to broadcast your credit card details via the internet even though it is not connected.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Scareware can be a right royal pain. OS-guard2010 has just caused major hassle on my sisters computer.
