coldlime said:Scams are part of the internet I guess. Over the years I have lost at least 3 HDs to viruses. Last one that got me this spring was the FBI Moneypak Virus. Kinda the same thing as the IRS phone scam that you talk about Laura. Locks up the computer and claims to report you for doing all sorts of Very bad things to the FBI or Homeland Security ( unless you pay them a small amount ). Very official looking screen comes up and Bam they got you.
Its hard to get rid of, but my point is Dont pay them. I picked it up @ a shopping site. Doing nothing wrong.

Do you have Norton Internet Security up and running on your computer? We've had it on two laptops and a desktop for years. It seems to do its job just fine.
