How do I know what spyware is really backed by my ISP (Comcast) and remove all unwanted spay and Adware?
I clicked on something that looked like an authentic Microsoft or Windows System Alert and ended up with multiple icons demanding I click to buy their spyware and/oradware.
Is the advertising trying to sell you, one of these useless products? It is scam advertising trying to swindle you. A computer infection called smitfraud is causing the phony warnings (see below).
