Check your virus software is up to date.
« on: November 03, 2013, 08:57:02 PM »
Just seen this on another forum.
Apparently there's a new virus going round that's going to steal our identity, empty our bank accounts, and render our computers un-useable unless we pay the persons responsible.
Der !, how can someone make a threat like this without having a traceable bank account.

Personally I think it's all hype. Just don't open attachments on emails without scanning then first.
If you don't know how to scan them, feel free to pm me  :)
I'm happy to help   ;)

Over 90% of all computer problems can be traced back to the interface between the keyboard and the chair

I've seen this time and time again - it's just someone trying to get you as customer for their software.

I think it's Norton this time.

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.
