Threat alert HIGH - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 16th Dec 08 at 4:06pm
Alright, so on my FireFox Add on for Viral Alerts it is currently setting at HIGH for Virus's Many programs are being infected with Fake AntiVirus programs mainly WindowsXP AntiVirus 2009 (Which will infect any Windows Computer) and AntiVirus360.

My mom Downloaded a game off of iWin games and AntiVirus360 downloaded without her knowledge. (I fixed it of course by doing a system restore)

But just a warning to all.

I also was searching Google, and AntiVirus 2009 popped up. Both a Pop up and Pop under came up, what ever you do, do not exit it out, or it will download. Force shut down your computer then reboot it up, and it will not install. (My own experiance)

Vet automatically checks anything that downloads on my computer.
