Many a piece of advice on this subject begins in some such manner as this: "If you are seeing random tech support pop-ups asking you to call a phone number to fix your computer or Apple Mac OS X, then your machine is infected with an adware or a potentially unwanted program.: That isn't necessarily the case. The Page you are visiting certainly is infected. But that doesn't mean your computer is. If the malware has disguised itself as being legitimately FROM the page you are visiting then it will slip past your pop-up blocker )assuming you only block third party pop ups) and try and scare you with all kinds of horrible doomsday scenarios such as a dramatic voice sa…

A couple of days ago I received a notice that logger.js had downloaded and wanted to run. I searched the computer and deleted this from temporary internet files. I then ran Norton antivirus, Norton power eraser, Malwarebytes, and Microsoft security scan. There were no findings from any of the scans. Then, the magnifying glass on the yahoo search button stopped working. I can search with other browsers but not with Yahoo though my favorites still do work. Today, I received a notice from Norton that twitter.windows.exe was trying to access the internet. When I touched the notification box it automatically went to accept. Norton did say this is a safe program. I man…
