This morning ... nothing but POP UP ADDS... I can't even begin to read any post or e mail without getting a dozen pup ups. I did a virus scan and they zapped 6 new viruses. I then got onto this site and MORE pop up adds. I returned to scan for viruses and the site reported NO viruses. Then a message identifying themselves as Microsoft with a 888 number to call. I checked for virus scan and they said NO viruses. So I called and the guy said that he will check and repair the problem. I asked what it would cost and he replied that it was free. He came back a few minutes later and said their were over a thousand errors and for $99.99 that he would fix it AND for $288 more they would guarantee any repairs for one year. I said what kind of scam is this and hung up. I am typing this message on a neighbor's computer. :barnie
