I had a message start popping up every time I went on Firefox. It said that my Norton Antivirus software had found a virus, and that I should call the 1888-258-5284 for help. RED FLAG....I don't have NORTON!!! An Indian man, told me to remove the virus it would cost a fee of $100! SCAM!!! Googled: Firefox has virus, follow this and now everything is fixed! http://www.malwareremovalguides.info/how-to-r ... ozilla-firefox/

THIS IS A SCAM. Read about it here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Cold-Call-Tech ... on-150170.shtml They lie about your PC sending out malware, error messages, etc., to frighten you into giving them remote control of your PC to fix the nonexistent problem (don't let them!), find fictitious errors, viruses, etc. on your PC that they now want $$$ to fix. Don't let them take control of your PC because they can download *real* malware that can steal your info including online bank logins in addition to ripping off your $$$. THIS IS A SCAM.

I got a phone call exactly like the others.. she wanted to let a tech fix my computer. I hang up the phone figuring it was a scam. Thankfully I did! Hope they get caught!
