So... you spend your $$, download their fix, the alarms go away, and they can track every damned thing you do! Neat, eh?
I have defeated that one several times... each time, it gets a little tougher... and a little tougher...
Andy, you are right, each time they get a little more and more difficult to get rid of.
Ron, I really feel sorry for some of the people who get infected by these things...generally the older generation, who trust, what appears to be Microsoft or some other company Norton, AVG....whatever. So they immediately think they should spend the money and download the "Fix". I tell all of my clients (and many who are not)if they get something like that, turn off the computer and get hold of me or their computer guy. So I can take care of it before it gets too embedded.
