YIKES! they locked me out !!
« on: May 23, 2011, 09:45:50 »
I tried to get on here yesterday evening and got a scary message,clearly bogus i
It was written in both English and I think Spanish saying I had a virus etc and suggesting I click on a link for temporary access to this site  :o
Anyone else had anything like it ?
p.s. 'glad to be back I was getting withdrawal symptoms  :)
sanity is overated

Sounds like yer typical scareware but not something I have come across before..
Always worth doing a virus and malware scan after summat like that..
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

Just to be sure run a scan with your anti virus software. If you have anti spyware try that too.
If you haven't got green fingers then use your fists.

                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
