security tool security tool was on computor, security tool popped up and acted like it was doing a virus check, said i was infected and wouldn't let me get away from it. I tried rebooting, hit the "x" in corner and tried to "co Internet
I was working on my computor when a security tool popped up and ran what looked to me like a virus check. It then stated that i had about a dozen or so viruses and that all my password would be redirected to a different site that wasn't secure.
My first reaction was oh god my computor was hacked. I tried to "x" out of everything, but it kept popping up. I tried rebooting, every time the computor came back up or I turned it back on the same things kept popping up.
I then thought this might be legite and paid the $49.95 fee, it then acted like it cleaned out all the viruses.
When my son came home from school, I explained what happend. Since our children know more about computors than their parents, he found out that it was a scam. I tried calling the 800 number listed and know answer.
I will contact my bank and see if I can stop the charge.
