Its bloody annoying isnt it.I repaired a computer for a friend last month.She'd click on one of them dodgy 'your computer is infected' pop ups that in return downloaded some malware that was a barsteward to get off!I think its diabolical how these scumbags work by using scare tactics that if your 'new' to computing will scare the hell out of you and have you clicking away at everything that pops up.Thanks for the heads up simon anyroad.

The BT one's been around for a while - and of course, it's often the old or vulnerable who fall foul and part with the little money many have to live on.These folk don't have a conscience and I think I'd leave mine at home if I came face to face
