My granddaughter was browsing the net when a pop up came up. It said I had numerous worns, trojans, and viruses. Even said that they were in my google tool bar some differant exe's. It mimiced my microsoft virus program in looks. I thought that was what was going on and I needed to purchase the license to remove the virus's. So, I paid the 79.95 for "lifetime license" It then removed the trojans etc.
I then went into add/remove programs, and couldn't find what supposedly downloaded to my computer. The Icon in the lower right tray also disappeared. I then went onto the net looking for what it said it was... Couldn't find a thing.
I did find this web site, read numerous people who did the same thing. I imediately emailed them sayin I was going to report them to the proper authorities and that they were bogus and I wanted my money back... They promptly said they canceled the "licence" and were going to reverse the charges. Charges were reversed within a matter of a couple hours.
Whoever is doing this needs to be caught. I will be monitering our checking account to make sure we don't get fraudulant charges. It should be a crime to invade someone computer like that!
