Watch out for "Security Shield".
I just got my laptop back from my tech guy because my computer got a virus. Luckily, I didn't follow the on screen instruction or my computer would have be toast.
It first showed up in my start-up programs then a pop-up window appeared with a warning that my computer is under attack and is unprotected. It is sneaky, it looks similar to the Window Security Essentials I have running but it's ACTUALLY THE VIRUS. If you follow the bug's instructions it takes you to a window were you can buy protection, that's what made me suspicious. I called my tech guy(my nephew) and he figured it out.
Again watch out for "SECURITY SHIELD"
