I’ve recently run into a Windows file that downloads from web pages, which pops up my virus alert. I’m not on a Windows machine (have a Macintosh), but my anti-virus programs checks for everything, even Windows stuff. So, it has popped up this one kind several times from various web sites, which is supposed to redirect your Internet connection to a bogus site and fool you into believing you might be going to a bank, but are actually going to someone else’s site that has replaced the bank’s site. It only comes up when you try to access your bank.
Fortunately with the Mac, it won’t do a darned thing, even if I didn’t stop it with my anti-virus program. That’s not true, though, with the Windows machines...
