John Sheffield Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 This evening the background on my laptop changed to red and the message "your privacy is in danger - download privacy protection software now" . If the mouse is over the red area (covering most of the screen) I get the usual finger (non-tech term) as you do when clicking on a button. I also get constant reminders the ultimate defender has found 648 files at risk and it offers to run a udefender_setup.exe. I also have two new icons - privacy protector and spyware and protection on my desktop. I have run Norton scan and it tells me all is safe. I have updated windows security and Norton. I still get a Windows Internet Explorer message saying that I should install PCSecureSystem to scan my laptop for malware.Does anyone have any suggestions?CheersJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
