Exactly.  The only reason I didn’t is because Rob is a computer geek and I
called him just to be sure.     That shield makes it look like a Microsoft
program, warning and all.   Whoever is doing this is very good.

Me too Laura, the first time I was oh so close to clicking, this time I just
stared at it thinking.. thats the scary part if *I* was so close how many
people really do?

I've gotten this one twice, you are right, they look very legit.  It's
maddening.  I didn't click on it but I was a split second away from doing so
the first time.

As you should know by now, I run all kinds of security on my PC's and
laptop.. well apparently thats not good enough.. 2nd time in 3 months or so
I got nailed with something..

So.. just as a reminder.. if you get a popup that runs a scan and
IMMEDIATELY finds an issue.. stop the scan shut off the PC and take to an
expert to get rid of the bastard lurking in the shadows..

The name of this one is: malware protection designed to protect, but it
could say anything else, and has a very "microsoft looking" shield as the
logo, the other time it had that also..

DO NOT.. I can not stress this enough.. DO NOT click to buy the "full
version to unlock all the features" you might as well post you social
security number on FB..

This particular nasty shut down all running programs, it will not allow me
to start either web browser or even CTRL-ALT-DEL to shut the slimy thing
off.. I can't delete the program, I can't start in safe mode either to try
and kill it that way.. IF the PC had a floppy drive I MIGHT be able to use a
"boot disk" but thats just not happening.. damn I cant even remember now
what I was doing, but I know I clicked on a wiki link.. but that may have
only triggered it.. 
the PC has been funcky for a day or so.. mis-behaving, rebooted twice today
alone before the popup came..

So.. please take care out there.. have enough sense to just shut it off (the
whole PC) before more damage is done..
