Problems with Media Fire for file sharing
« on: July 05, 2010, 01:57:04 PM »
Be on the alert for problems following file downloads from Media Fire in the form of the AV Security Suit scareware.  Happened to me last night.  Moments after downloading a .ahf file from Media Fire I received a  Adobe Icon to update Adobe reader.  As soon as I clicked,  I received the AV Security Suit alert for infections.  Its a scam but they did manage to lock up my desk top computer.  Had to boot in safe mode and only open the process that I know are valid. Then run a cleaning tool.  Pain in the butt.
