[or-roots] Computer crash's

[Darlene Casteel]

I don't know anything about a Virus Soft program, but I have had computer hangups with IE8, and have tried unsuccessfully to uninstall it.  I'm now using Firefox.

  When I downloaded IE8 the other night It came with a Program called Virus soft from Microsoft's download site, the Virus Soft program told me all my programs on my computer were infected with a trojan virus and wanted me to download their Virus Soft program, which installed with automatic updates, but to active I had to pay $60.00, I could not open any of my programs or even get into the internet, It would not let me uninstall it or remove it, as I said I had to do a full restore of my computer to get my computer back and I still to not have everything back to normal.
  I sent an Email to microsoft and they will not even reply.

  I’ve had IE 8 on one of my computers for months. No problems yet. No question of

  virus checking programs (of course I already had one on the computer).  Maybe

  there’s some other problem?

  My Computer just crashed this morning, whatever you do, DO NOT upgrade to Internet Explorer 8, it has its own 
  virus program, and locks up your computer until you download the program at  $60.00, I had to do a complete restore of my computer to git rid of it, it will not uninstall, or let you into any programs including the internet.
