I tend to agree. I've seen so many fake virus warnings targeted at windows users in order to con them into buying software they don't need. Basically some program installed was a trojan designed to keep giving warnings until you fork out money for a program that does nothing but remove a fake warning Anything you get like that should be taken with a bucket of salt imho James -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
