IndyArms 10,186 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 My mom called me today... said she blew up her laptop computer.. and was bringing it to me to see if I could get it to do ANYTHING... and if not, she would just have to buy another one... I didnt have a clue what was going on with her laptop at first... then the "Safety Fix" scanner started to run... and there were all kinds of problems!! LOL ( google safety fix virus and you can see what it says about what it says is wrong with an infected computer! ) Anyways... a few hours later, I have it pretty much gone... running malwarebytes anti malware on it now... so far so good... Mom had trend Micro anti virus installed and running on the laptop... this slipped right by... nice. It locks you out of EVERYTHING! ( well it THINKS it does! LOL ) Anyways... its out there... just a heads up... Its not THAT hard to get rid of... just gotta take your time... FYI!!! Google it and you can get links to how to fix it... might be worth reading up on in advance... There's even a KEY you can use to make it think its been PAID FOR!!! How awesome is THAT?!?!? Its like scamming the scammers!!! HAHAHAHAH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zone1935 5 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanx for the heads up. I've had more than my share of stuff like than. I always know there's a problem when the wife starts the conversation with "I found this free scan." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
