OK, so I opened my laptop to call Kaspersky back as I did not receive the email and my computer seems to be OK; what gives? I'm sure it did not fix itself :lol:

I use AVG and Firefox, Never have had a problem. Would not use anything else! You can buy AVG on line and down load Firefox for free. Good luck!

I had these pop up's that would not go away saying they were Vista security that I had a serious virus that my computer was at risk, that I had spyware and a worm. I could not open email, asked for permission to open. I never gave permission and kept clicking the x to close the vista security message.
I went to all programs, there is no vista, it wanted me to purchase a security program. My security program is Kaspersky. I am afraid it may be hiding in the background; but there is nothing to indicate it. Do I just wait and see? Why am I spending $ for a security program and end up with a virus anyway? |
I don't think anything is 100% foolproof. You just do the best you can. I'm not a tech so I don't really know.
