About 2 weeks ago, I kept getting a pop-up on my computer screen which indicated my computer was under attack by a virus. I ignored it for a few days, but it continually popped up. The message indicated I needed to upgrade my Microsoft virus protection for a $79.95 charge for three (3) years. Believing it was a legitimate offer and to avoid the continuing pop ups, I agreed to purchase the product, Antivirus 2009. The only thing I got for my money was an icon with Antivirus 2009 installed on my desktop. It does nothing to protect my computer and is a complete fraud. I have contacted my credit card company and told them I am disputing the charge for fraud. They asked if I had contacted the company, which they did not identify, but indicated the number on the cc bill, 33622746058 is a international long distance number. On checking, the number is non-existent.
The only place I could find any record of the number led me directly to consumer complaints. I am awaiting paperwork, probably an affidavit of fraud, from my credit card company, as requited by VISA.
