Hi to all,
yesterday evening I experienced the mother of all viruses.....trawling the net looking for info on a .45-70-500 round I was suddenly blocked by the 'Metropolitan Police' for carrying out terrorist activities,watching illegal pornography ect on the net and demanded that I paid a 100 fine on line or my PC would be seized and I would be taken to court..after my initial WTF!,I noticed that the IP address they gave was not mine...this virus got past AVG2012 and none of the normal 'tricks' with Windows would get rid of it,safe mode,last safe position ect...SO A WARNING GENTS/LADIES...this virus is a killer and nothing can be done about it unless you re-boot with a disc or USB stick which means you lose all your saved information.photos ect...so I highly recommend that those of you who have not already done so back up your system on disc or memory stick until this virus is 'got rid of'....me? I've gone back to virus free Linux:wink:
All the best
