<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9954179, member: 37&quot;]Ack!!! .... while exploring the John Guthrie site linked above by Laura, I started getting virus notification pop-ups.&nbsp; Her link seems to be safe but some of the others on the site may not be.&nbsp; I think the virus warnings are fake phishing attempts but I have not yet been able to get rid of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Update:&nbsp; Was able to eliminate the pop-ups by rebooting.&nbsp; My antiviral software was not showing any virus threats so I do think they were just phishing pop-ups.&nbsp; The important thing is that you should never click on links in such pop-ups to <i>&quot;fix&quot;</i> the purported virus attack.&nbsp; These came across as McAfee warnings (which I do not have on my computer) and Window&#039;s security alerts.&nbsp; The latter did not conform to the appearance of real Window&#039;s security alerts so easily spotted as fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
