« on: June 02, 2011, 10:32:38 AM »
While on face book I get a message that my comp is infected. It then goes to a page and starts the fake scan. I don't know how to stop this from happening. I am using windows XP Sp3 IE8 this is the address I am taken to for the fake scan, hxxp://www1.getpotsafety.co.cc/dtrigka3?3k3reyn=V82f4tq21N%2Fb2NHcmujKyqKmqmybWeLO3auai9XS0eawsbmsmuWmqGSinJ%2Fd2qLr5sfEmcPPybHbkrR4qovr4smi1tHW4NnQjMjXtoi%2BWdvVtp%2BfmaKjqKKrmZSWra5Z3qfT2e7hpJaa59jYsJqYnZrtp9dwopaso8yWpaKmq9eH2tixqmabaqKVq6KcnJrU3uHUytSi6%2FCqnmHYxu%2Fd2c7o1eLZ1tbYyujrYdShmMja4aTZ5tTk69nGig%3D%3D]http://www1.getpotsafety.co.cc/dtrigka3?3k3reyn=V82f4tq21N%2Fb2NHcmujKyqKmqmybWeLO3auai9XS0eawsbmsmuWmqGSinJ%2Fd2qLr5sfEmcPPybHbkrR4qovr4smi1tHW4NnQjMjXtoi%2BWdvVtp%2BfmaKjqKKrmZSWra5Z3qfT2e7hpJaa59jYsJqYnZrtp9dwopaso8yWpaKmq9eH2tixqmabaqKVq6KcnJrU3uHUytSi6%2FCqnmHYxu%2Fd2c7o1eLZ1tbYyujrYdShmMja4aTZ5tTk69nGig%3D%3D
