| Vista Ultimate x64 | Was this a Virus or a scam? I have Windows Live One care as my Virus protection. I was just on Facebook and it popped up saying I had a Trojan Virus. So I hit clean. It had all the graphics and fuctionality of One Care I've seen once before but it wanted to download a file from a site, part of the site's name was PC16. This made me think and I canceled. I had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to escape. I then ran a full Virus scan and it reported nothing. I looked at the months report and nothing. Was this a Virus or a scam? Fooled me. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Was this a Virus or a scam? Thanks. Unreal how real it was! I'd still like to hear from a Moderator. Isn't this illegal? Why is it so hard to get in touch. Do I have to scrutinize One Care? |
