My computers Norton Antivirus detected a virus while I was viewing an unsolicited porno pop-up ad. Apparently while I was trying to scan my computer to investigate the source of the virus, a re-dial file within the pop-up automatically/unknown to me connected me to a pay for service porno phone #. I recently got a bill from Alyon for the unsolicited porno hook-up.
My antivirus routine told me the names of the contaminated files and after searching the file name iedisco. Exe, which had a Trojan virus, it was determined that the source of the file was Alyon, thanks to an earlier complaint. I procedded to delete two Trojan contamined files. Not being a computer geek the whole process of virus alert to file deletion consumed about 4 hours.
Besides refusing to pay the Alyon bill I am considering purchasing some 3rd party pop-up blocking software.
