Interesting! With so much in life to do, why would someone waste time on the internet?! Strange... in many years of using the internet, I've never encountered a fake "you are infected" sczm except when I've tested a reported site. I wonder how he does it. ---- rich
Me neither. I guess it depends on what one does and where they go. An example of a fake alert scam was mentioned recently here on Wilders. Seems boredog was attempting to download a torrent in that instance.
TonyW yes and ESET only had a def for that on july 1st and it peaked on 7/25, that day it hit me. so it was pretty new detection. "I’ve seen a rash of malicious browser extensions, although most tend to be for non-Microsoft browsers." hummm why didn't he say which ones then?
tony didn't you use to be a mod or labeled a security expert or something here some years back? the nick look familiar.
