Personal Antivirus Software I tried to download games (free downloads at gamevance.com. I clicked and it started downloading. All of these warnings appeared Trojan viruses, Worm viruses etc. Told me the only way to get rid of these was to buy Personal Antivirus. I ran Norton Antivirus and the error messages kept coming until I purchased and ran the Personal Antivirus. I was charged $99 for lifetime Personal Antivirus. Internet

Angela,

Sad to say you have been ripped off by an unscrupulous company. You actually did not get viruses or trojans. You simply got a malicious program that fakes virus alerts in order to get you to buy this useless software.

Immediately go to this link and follow the instructions:

Once you have gotten rid of Personal Antivirus, you should be OK. If your computer is brand new, it might be a good idea to go ahead and use the recovery CD and do a total reinstall. And if this ever pops up again (my laptop has been hit twice so far), simply start your Malwarebyte program and check for updates, then do a full scan.

Also, if you used a credit card for the purchase, contact your CC company and file a dispute (hurry, you only have 60 days). If it was through a debit card, contact your bank and see if there's anything they can do.

It might also be a good idea to cancel whatever account you used for the purchase and open a new one. No telling what these people might do with your account information.
