A scam....

...or not a scam?  I really don't know, but yesterday evening, when I logged on to my blog site a big warning sign popped up.  It filled the whole screen and informed me that I had three dangerous viruses that had infected my laptop.  it also said that I needed to click on the big button right now to solve the problem.  The sign had a logo in one corner that sort of looked like the 'windows' logo, but something about the whole thing jsut didn't feel right.  Perhaps I've gotten overly suspicious with all the warnings about scams that are flying around, but I decided not to click that (possibly innocent) button.  Instead, I turned everything off, then on again and ran my Malware program.  It had evidently been some time since I had last checked for bugs because it took several hours to run through its diagnostic program.  In case you haven't guessed by now, that's my excuse for not blogging last night.  Once it was running I didn't want to stop it, and I must say, my computer is runnung really well today.  I probably should do this more often. Now, of course. Malware wants me to buy their new, improved version.  I passed on this.  So was it a scam or not?  I will probably never know.
