Ohhh, I don't. I pass those by. Call this just plain ole irritation on my part where spammers and hackers are concerned.
The virus and all the hassle I went through a couple of weeks ago was due to my own fault not because of a post in this forum.
I was doing product searches and click on a link that took me to an alternative site, not the one I was aiming at...which in return loaded me up with all the spyware/adware. Then the virus come via a music download website that I have used for the past couple of years. This was the very first virus I've downloaded and opened.
Once opened, I unleashed a beast..........took me a few days to get things sorta lined back up....
