If you have a Apple product when you click the link a large Red Warning comes up stating : warning detected phishing or virus a attached"

ThIs is how I knew my recent BOA email was a scam. In the past 4 months I e had lots of "phishing" -- love that Safari doesn't let it go thru and immediately marks as possible scam. Of course you have the right to click on continue if you know for certain it's a true business or ?
I als have my systems marked "private browsing"

I don't understand how this is possible, but I turned off the computer, it make me wonder if a lot of these virus protection items even work.


 

Very good question!

 

When I had Windows 98, I downloaded something from a questionable key site.  I had Norton at the time.  I got a pop up saying that a trojan was detected.  I quarantined the file and deleted it.

 

A few months later, I got the blue screen.  I called Norton and they were useless.  I had to have a friend come by and fix my computer instead.

 

That was the last time I paid for a virus protector.  AVG is good enough for me and what I do.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.
