I just had my sisters give me her computer because someone in her family got duped and installed the phony program.

Unfortunately this stuff is hard to catch since many people will not be aware of these scams. I hope the regular news will fill in a spot for this information and warn users.

I’m sure it will be an ongoing investigation, so maybe they will also be ordered to refund their victims’ money and pay fines. They should.
