*CRITICAL* Update Your Antivirus!

[Jonbo298]

I'm giving the warning because some people open attachments from people they know, then they get infected and it goes downhill from there.

And I couldn't have blatantly said it any better on how to prevent yourself from getting it. ANTIVIRUS UPDATER

I know i realised the update thing.

So this question is probably answered, but does it say its an email from a person you know, or is it just a junk-mail adress?

And to get it straight, you HAVE to open the attachment right?

[Jonbo298]

Yeah, have to open attachment for hell to break loose.

I havent gotten any of said emails yet. But im worried about my mom...she uses this computer, and is as stupid as a sack of hammers when it comes to computers.

She'd see a denial email, and say " I dont remember this." And instead of deleting it, she opens it.

Then, upon seeing the attachment she would open it.

Im screwed.


( And i think i had this happen to me a few months ago, all i remember is at the bottom right of my screen a little pop-up-ish box kept coming up every second saying " Synmantec email sent to ________________" i solved it by unplugging my internet. The problem hasnt persisted, and my computer is virtually normal.)
