Posted April 28, 201410 yr I ran into a FBI cyberpolice scam page last week. I have a desktop with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. I have since decided that IE11 is not for me so I rolled it back to IE10. Anyway. Now I click on a link or shortcut to a website and it loads, and then something loads behind it saying that I need to upgrade my browser, or upgrade my media player, or computer is running to slow and I need to fix this. Click here for installation. I right-click the back arrow button and it shows: (some numbers and // and such) SUP the webpage I had clicked the link for. Is this a hack or is it a virus? I have cleaned all of the internet caches. I've purge all history, cookies, activeX plugins, passwords, temp files in all directories, and I cannot find anything else to delete. I still get it all the time. And there are times when I get a pop-up saying explorer has an error and it tries to find solutions, but it still tells me to close the program. I do and restart the IE and works for awhile and then the whole thing starts over again. I've even tried inprivate browsing to see if that would work, but the same thing happens. Would appreciate any help you can steer me to. Continue reading...
