I opened an email on hubby's email account and I feel sooooo dumb now... message read that there was a package to be delivered but that we were not home and to contact UPS to arrange pickup... and there was an attachment with the tracking number...
OHHHH... and as I stupidly clicked on the attachment, I said but our post office contacts us whenever there's a package and UPS would leave a note in the mailbox...
AND... YES... immediately, started getting the message that my computer "Was Infected" and then the nonsense with purchasing a special "Spyware" through Microsoft showed up on my screen... I ran my Antivirus that I have loaded up already and it did find 2 trojans... and that it put those into the Virus Vault for me...
And then my Antivirus runs automatically in the wee hours at night for me so we had a second scan done... and it came up with "No" problems this time...
So I rebooted my pc and the screen came up GREEN with the note still saying that my pc "Was Infected"... That's it... SHUT IT DOWN before the worm eats up my pc on me and the infection gets any worse... I immediately called my Computer Guru and my pc goes in to be repaired tomorrow...
So I'll load up my MT4's again on Sunday on the other pc or on the laptop and run it there for a few days if possible...
Please learn from my error here Folks... it's really humbling to admit this happened but I felt it was better to Get the Word out about this vicious attack on my pc...
I'm still online though... got those backup pcs...

PS - We called UPS, just to let them know this is happening... and they said this nonsense was going on last summer and as of last week was gearing up again... so beware...
