Default Re: "Error Guard"

It a trojan and a phishing scam where you have to give your name and CREDIT
CARD # to people you don't know, and certainly should not trust. What
will they do with your card #. How did the so called security program get on
your computer? Did you knowingly install it? Of course NOT.

Keep your card in your wallet and your antivirus and anti spyware tools
updated - always.
