SOO I got took in ! got an email from my ex SIL and tried to link to the download on Facebook. Didn't go through all the pages that wanted info,somehow I wasnt happy with it on an instinct, My Norton wasnt bothered BUT a nephew did email too late it was a phishing scam,
I have changed my hotmail password, done several Norton scans checked things like my credit card site BUT still getting pop ups even though I have to pop ups on high.
What more can I do??
from time to time I get a box on here that says website 100px that ll only go away if you press OK or the X red button,
This is a Gal who thinks she savvy and wont get taken in !!
Norton of course passed facebook as an Ok site!!
