CAUTION:
I have just sited a PC with a nasty scam running on it that flashes
up a very legitimate looking message headed:
"Microsoft Windows Licensing"
Then:
"Register online with Microsoft"
"Warning! The license file . . . . license.cfg"
Ending by requesting full credit card details!!!
If you click 'cancel' the PC closes down ungracefully and reboots!!
I ran SpyBot (which found dozens of hits and removed them all) to no
avail.
Tried installing xp SP2 but after unpacking - the folder in the root
of C drive just vanishes and the process stops!
NAV 2003 will not live-update nor run!
This is a crime and instances like this kill confidence in computing
for the folks confronted. In this case they were wise enough to see
through it, but many people would not - it looks *very* believable.
(planning a wipe all and rebuild shortly . . . )
I hope this helps someone, somehow.
