Let me re-phrase that, I hate people who are smart enough to create viruses, malware, trojan's and worms, and scams or any combination of and are to damn lazy to use those smarts to get a real job making money!!
My PC has been down for about 48hrs now as I shut it down while trying to research whether this worm that popped up on my screen, and find out if it was for real and how to get it out of my PC.
I am in the living room the other night and my wife is about to look at her Facebook page, when she calls out my name. You see I can sense urgency in my wife's voice and I knew something was wrong!:biggrin:
So I came hauling hinny to the computer room and as I turned the corner, I said OK what has one of our children done wrong now!! She just points to the screen and here is a big box saying I have a virus capable of getting credit card numbers, bank accounts, blah blah, blah, please call, Windows Support at 1-800-................. for further instructions and as I am trying to copy the info down about the lover.worm, the screen goes black! I grabbed the mouse, right clicked and it comes up on the main screen and I am no longer on the net. I immediately did a power off. (Not recommended but in this case figured it couldn't hurt, I didn't have any data I was worrying about saving)!
I turned to the wife and laughed this is worse than something stupid one of our children posted on Facebook!! :what!: Not exactly sure what a worm is but it probably ain't good!!

[/FONT]Turns out this one is a scam, that once you contact the number for Windows Support, and give them some info, you are screwed, cause that number is not Windows Support!!!
My daughter came over and with the help of her I phone we researched the worm and found out it couldn't really take over the PC. The online warning says, DO NOT CALL WINDOWS SUPPORT number! They also had instructions on how to get it out of your PC.
Shame on you smart people, that are too lazy to get a job!!! :9:
