program, know that it is NOT.
It is spyware, and a scam that attempts to scare Windows users into
download and probably pay for its fake utilities.
I use Linux, but its pop-up webpage
(http://amaena.com/securityworm58….) attempted to tell me:
‘Your system is currently sending private information and documents to a
remote computer. One of these processes (Win32res.exe) has just sent us
the following information:
– \Windows\System32
– \Program Files\Internet Explorer
– \My Documents
– Drive C:\ files
Your Operation System: unknown’
I have none of that, of course, Note that it was unable to tell me what
my ‘operation system’ is, despite the fact that my browser makes that
info freely available, as it’s supposed to, so that legitimate websites
can adjust their presentations.
If you use Windows, there is an excellent free antivirus program called
AVG at http://www.grisoft.com. There are several free anti-spyware programs too.
