I made a few mistakes. After inadvertantly clicking on the wrong html, suddenly there was a prompt of suspicious activitie and a prompt to accept a "free trial scan (scam)" of a clean up utility. The trial scan was cleverly disguised as "CLEAN THIS" and provided from the people of PC (magazine) group. The free scan locked up my computer less I pay the randsome of $70 for a suspicious program to fix the problem.
Rather than accepting a free pop trial "CLEAN THIS" scan of Windows Vista one should click on no free scan and revert to the restore programs and set a previous restore point. Once I had chosen to accept the free trial scan I was locked down.instead of spending my money into a scam I chose to restore my computer.
Today in an attempt to research the issue the website for PC Magazine is refusing to let me online.
