4pwr Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I have Comcast internet. I keep getting a pop up telling me I am infected with various virus. Then I am urged to purchase Malware for $49.95. What should I do? Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 Hi 4pwr, I have Comcast out of New Haven, and I haven't received any messages. I think we have Mcafee through Comcast, I would call Comcast and ask them if it's legit. Falcon Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 25, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 25, 2008 You have been infected - but DO NOT click on the ad!! It's the virus. Instead, go to http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Introduction and follow the instructions. Note to all - I highly recommend going to that link and following the instructions. You will be amazed at how much junk is really on your computer. You will learn how to clean it, and prevent it from happening again. Quote
tntitans21399 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 You also might want to get AVG anti virus program. They have a free version that you can download and updates every date. Quote
