I wonder when it really started. My mother called me a couple of nights after Liz Taylor died (she was searching for articles on Taylor), and said she got a pop-up saying a virus was found, and to download, etc.

I didn't recognize any of what she read off, and told her to say no, and got her to run her own collection of av stuff.

Nothing was found, BTW, and it was Windows 7 Home.

The phenomenon of fake AV software has been around a long time. This is just some new variant.
