I’ve just been told my C: drive is infected by errors in all the .dll files by a free online error and virus scanner I found on the Internet! OMG OMG OMG!
What makes this particularly amazing is that the scanner claims to have found viruses on the C: drive – when there is no C: drive (I’m on the Eee at the moment running Ubuntu). See what I’m getting at here?
However, people do get taken in by these things. I’ve seen it happen before where the Messenger Service in Windows XP has been hijacked, and gullible/inexperienced users have listened to the message, no questions asked. Of course, they don’t read the EULA (who does? they say.)
