I recieved a PM on the 12th and the 14th. I do not trust other sites to have access to my computer. My virus scan shows no viruses on my computer.

Dear, cremsone;ejinjapan;emilio;Willie00d2;Bryanb!A virus alert was noticed on your computer. We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://securitytool-2010.org you do not pass this test* we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP.----------------------------------------------------Forum Administration landroverforums.com.

 

It is SPAM. I got them here and on other sites. Delete and do not follow the links.

 

Someone is phishing for info. The site they direct you to will likely ask you for personal details. Since many people use the same account and login information for all of their online activity, the fraudsters try to gather info from "non money" related accounts knowing that they can likely use the same info to log onto your "money" accounts as well.

You were smart not to do their "free scan". ALWAYS continue to ignore such solicitations. Glad you didn't get scammed!

 

Willie-let me know their screen name so I can ban them from the forum.

 

Security Tool 2010 is a virus. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. I work part time for an IT Department and have been removing/attempting to remove these viruses for years. More information is on this wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_security_software

If you keep getting random popups on your PC that ask you to purchase Security Tool 2010, you need to go to "malwarebytes.org" and download the free version to remove the virus. I know this is a Rover forum and all...but these viruses can eventually make your PC unusable (no programs will load).

 

Spike, I aready deleted the message so I do not know who is.

Willie

 

The screen name that I received 2/14 is Admin&Moderator

 

I have been banning these 2 and they still get back. I will be in touch with the office Tuesday morning to have them deal with this.

 

try adding AVAST to you computer it seems to be the best free virus scanner and blocker, this info from multiple sources do a google search to find out more
