so i got this wonderful pop up age tonight surfing around. it said that my computer had been infected and to call a phone number to talk to someone who could guide me thru the removal process. well, this isn't my first time around the block. and i had not heard of that particular infection. so in typical fashion, i dismissed it as yet another in a long line of hoaxes that plaster the web. i did for safety's sake, run Microsoft's malicious tool removal program. it did find one file that was infected. but it never did give me a report as to what or where it was. i went onto Major Geek to check about ransom wear removal utility, and the very first one mentioned this exact same one. so i downloaded it, and it is running at the moment. i am thinking that if i get this before i shut down the computer, i might be ok. but i have not had one before (and i am not really sure i have one now), so i really do not know what to expect.
