I just got off the 348-409 site yesterday afternoon and decided to touch base with my son on Facebook.. I was scrolling down a page and a pop-up came on the screen informing me that my computer has been compromised with a DANGEROUS VIRUS that could not be detected by TREND-MICRO. or any other security program.It instructed me to call this # right away to correct the problem ( 1-855-401-6394 ) I called because my screen was frozen. Guess what ?? I asked the guy where he was from and he told me NEW DELHI INDIA !! The company he worked for web site was Trojan Scanner.org .I started asking the obvious questions .What are you going to charge me for this "FREE SERVICE' He told me that the minimum charge would be $150.00 to rid my computer of any virus. He started asking my name , phone # , credit card info ,Etc. I said " NO WAY ,THANK YOU and hung up. I called Trend-Micro and reported this incident to them. They checked my computer inside out and up and down & came up with nothing. There is no virus in your computer..
Just a heads up to all our computer users out there.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THIS.

There were even underlined word's in any website and when the mouse was moved across it would go to that ad again.. I told my married daughter who live's here about it and she came over and worked on it and got it straightened out. Thank god for smart kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
!Actually have three daughter's that could do that. My son does not own a pc as he call's it , he hate's them ,he just has a tablet.
Our phone rings, all the time. It's usually, Direct Energy, Solar City, Solar America, or the guy trying to sell me, a First Alert button, to wear around my neck.
I have told them all," I'm Not Interested, Stop Calling Me " Of course, they don't stop. All these pain in the asses, sound like Ghandi rejects. They have called our house, so many times, I recognize all their voices. This particular day, a woman calls, and tells me she's a representative, from Microsoft. OK what's your name? She won't answer. She then tells me, I have many problems with my computer. I know, something IS going on, in my computer. But, I just play along with her for awhile. She gives me a code name, to type in the RUN prompt, and that brings me to the fault log page. Then she says, see all the errors you have? Oh my God, what am I gonna do? She says I can fix it for you, but you must pay. How much will it cost me? She won't answer. Then she asks me, how am I gonna pay. Finally I'm tired of this stupid broad, and say I'M NOT GONNA PAY YOU, NOTHING. She hangs up. So, I sat there for a moment, thinking. They probably do make out, with this Scam, because the fault log, keeps track of all the screw-ups a computer has. When people see this, they get nervous, and want someone to fix it.
I told her, I have your Internet code number, and I'm gonna turn you in to the FCC. She hangs up. WHO is she gonna be next week????
What pisses me off, about all this, is when it first started, about a year ago, I called Direct Energy, and complained about their phone calls. Their representative told me, I will take care care of this, on our end. Does that mean, they have no control, over the telemarketers they use. WTH
