by Guest Anna Jenkins- 0 replies
- 48 views
I got a virus Notification message on my email from the Windows Live Team, telling me a DGTFX Virus has been detected in my folders. It says my email account has to be upgraded to their new Secured DGTFX anti-virus 2012 version to prevent damages to their web mail log and to my important files. Then it asks me to click the reply tab and give them information which includes my full name, user name, password, date of birth, and country or territory. Then it states that if I fail to do this I will lose my account permanently. Is this for real or is it some sort of scam???

After performing routine XP update on 13th March 2012, on my WinSP3, Windows will no longer allow Google Chrome to access the web even after Chrome reinstall (although it WILL allow IE8 and Firefox access), throwing up 'Unable to access internet' and apecifying: Error 138 (net::ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED): Unable to access the network. It then states that it is my Firewall preventing access. HOWEVER, more worryingly, Windows will now not run my Norton NIS 2012!!! So I cannot change the firewall settings ! ! ! ! Is this a software conflict with a new piece of Windows update, or a piece of aggressive marketing by Microsoft? Prior to the update everything worked perf…
