Folks,

I put together a quick document last night on how my system was attacked by a rouge "anti-virus" software that bills itself as Win 7 Home Security and is at first glance very convincing as a Win 7 component.

Sharing the same so that perhaps if you are ever attacked by the same you are one step ahead of the game.

Here is the link to the PDF:

    Avast!

    I can vouch for never having virus problems for the last 6 years of using Avast Anti Virus Security.

    Thanks for the heads up WildFireBuzz!

    Wouldn't perhaps quite have put it like that but, yes, start using Linux and these issues just go away.
