There is a link to a removal tool by Symantec as there is a link to a similar tool by McAfee and a few others. I used the McAfee tool because I use their anti-virus and firewall programs but anyone can use any one from what I read. Even if you are sure you haven't been infected as I was, what is the harm in downloading and running one of those tools just to be 100% sure. Perhaps you might get a few e-mail adverts from them, so what. Are you sure that page was genuine? All the links could be to install Malware! Absolutely certain it's genuine and all the links are correct. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

They claim to be the UK’s leading source of unbiased, factual and easy-to-understand information on online safety. The site has been registered by Ken Yap in Essex, UK Yet clicking on one of those "correct" links gives: "You are now leaving an official website of the United State Government (USG), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT).

Perhaps you ought to simply find out what Getsafeonline.org is.....(I thought everyone knew as I've known it for years!) "Get Safe Online is a jointly funded initiative between several Government departments and private sector businesses. In fact, we are the Government’s preferred online security advice channel." https://www.getsafeonline.org/partners-and-supporters/ shows you who is involved. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

The Symantec link isn't correct unless you have a 64 bit computer. Perhaps you aught to let them know, my PC is 64 bit so it's OK for me. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
