COMPUTER SAFETY TIP:
Several residents have reported receiving pop up messages while on-line stating something to the effect of: “Warning—your computer is infected! System detected virus activities. They may cause critical system failure.” The message will probably use a variety of technical-sounding phrases to tell you that there’s a problem; and that you are at risk for all kinds of scary consequences (“computer damage,” “data corruption”, etc.). You might see multiple pop-ups. At the end of this text there is a phone number you can call to get help.
While it is never safe to assume you haven’t been infected, most likely the “You’ve got a virus” warning is just a scare tactic. In fact, this kind of advertising is often called “scareware.” The criminals’ goal is to get you to call the phone number in the pop-up. Once they have you on the phone, they will try to convince you that you have a virus and you should pay them to remove it for you. If you pay, they’ll have your credit card or bank information. They will also most likely install software on your computer, ostensibly to remove the virus, which will be a virus that will attempt to steal more personal data.
If you feel that you have a problem with your computer it is always best that you contact a qualified technician.
