Title: YIKES! they locked me out !!
Post by: macmac 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  :)

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..

Just to be sure run a scan with your anti virus software. If you have anti spyware try that too.
