The Writer's Café

No it was my annoying antivirus software!! I use McAfee and for some reason the staff there never fixed this problem with a 7 and up year old virus that kept slipping through
It's called Security Shield, it pretends to be an antivirus system and tells you you have "viruses" on your computer and then tells you to shell out like $60 to buy the "full version" of security shield to get rid of the "viruses". It blocks your Internet and other programs that try to get of it And of course you can't just delete it.

Easy to get rid of but took awhile and was annoying.
What I learned?
I need to switch back to Norton.
 
Oh and BTW how I got this virus?

I wasn't downloading anything, it was either a site i visit a lot using my mac, or a hotel website. Went on the site, a little while later, then bam I had a virus. 
