dead sea virus??
« on: March 10, 2012, 08:46:57 AM »
I have just received a phone call from someone claiming to work for windows claiming that I had downloaded accidently the dead sea?? virus.  The phone call seemed to be from India ( accent plus quite a time delay).  When I how this could happen when I had a security system on my computer, she hung up.  Has anyone else had the same experience and could a virus s;lip past Avast???
