Re: Possible hacked computer? Hard to tell if the notice is real or is the hack itself
Hi Janet I found the detail about the fake warning on-line. I have never had it myself. I posted it for your information. Malwarebytes has been in my toolbox, as it were, since its inception - 2008

Re: Possible hacked computer? Hard to tell if the notice is real or is the hack itself

Re: Possible hacked computer? Hard to tell if the notice is real or is the hack itself
Oddly, although every reference I've found on this says it's malware (or some kind of thread - possibly not technically "malware"), Sophos didn't find any threats. And the vast majority of the sites

This morning I received a suspicious-looking email purporting to be regarding my paypal account. I normally immediately remove those, but I'd been on paypal recently and I thought as long as I didn't

Re: SSD Question
What does ¡°overprovisioning¡± mean, other than buying a large drive than you expect to need? Right now, no one has said it was a software or hardware feature other than buying a drive twice your

Re: SSD Question
