Virus warning from our 'puter guy...
As many here know, I'm a computer illiterate. I use a local guy for computer service, etc. Here's a cut & paste from his latest newsletter about a tricky virus that needs a heads up:
"Virus Alert
Right before Christmas we have several customers who have been hit with some pretty bad viruses.
One really bad one is called the Win7 Virus. It tries to look like Windows security, but it is not. These viruses are so bad we have had to reload several systems. It makes repairing it with our normal tools and processes almost impossible.
Remember, do not touch any weird windows or pop ups with your mouse. If you try to close the window by clicking on the X, that virus will own your computer.
Hit Control/Alt/Delete all together, then go to task manager, and select the window, and choose end task."
