Computer has been down all weekend because I had some kind of spyware on it. I'm not the only one, one brother at work had the same rascal.
Since we don't communicate by computer, I don't think we gave it to each other.
Just wanted to warn ya'll about it.
What happens is that you will get some kind of message about you have a virus on your computer, and asks if you want to turn on your virus protect.
You will notice a new item in your bottom bar. Its a virus protect program that you never saw before and it is performing a "complimentary" scan.
Well its a scam. When you turn on your virus protect, it logs you online to a website asking if you want to purchase said virus protect program.
It will disable Macafee for sure. (did mine).
To get rid of it you will have to go to Malwarebytes (google it). Its a free program that will scan and repair your computer.
Just wanted to warn everyone that.
Trying to figure out where I got it, all I've done was searched on Home Church sites. Hmmmmm lol.
