Antivirus Scam Is Popping Up on Computers

As the WLTX station coordinator, Kecia Harley is bombarded by phone calls and email.

Harley said, "I got one email I was trying to delete and for some strange reason, things started loading on my computer."

So now, when Kecia tries to use her computer, a certain screen appears. Kecia said, "It tells me a problem has been detected and Windows shut down." Our station webmaster, Jason Baldwin, says he's not completely sure what virus or spyware made Kecia's computer crash, but she may have fallen victim to the XP Antivirus 2009 scam.

Baldwin said, "They can show up over email and you can go to a normal website and it takes you over and says you've got spyware and you've got viruses."

Baldwin says a computer screen comes up saying that your PC is infected.

From there, he says the screen will appear as if it is scanning your hard drive for viruses.

Baldwin said, "Although it looks like it's going through the computer, it's not doing anything. It's just an animated graphic."

He says at that time, users should just shut their computer down. He says the antivirus gives the computer a virus. In fact, the computer does just the opposite of what you think.

Baldwin says there are reputable antivirus program you can install like Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy.

You can also call a computer expert or technician to help you fix the problem.
