Error Safe...What's This?

[Braindrain]

I just got another one of those da--ed pop-ups (the kind that make it look
like something's being automatically downloaded into the computer):

Do you want to install and run "http://locator1.cdn.imagesrvr.com/sites/errorsafe.com/www/pages/scanner/ErrorSafeNewReleaseInstall.cab

I clicked it off because I'd never heard of it before and I didn't want to take
any chances. I'm sure I'll see it again, though-these pop-ups don't give up
easily.:rolleyes: :mad:

Thanks!:)

What is ErrorSafe?
ErrorSafe - is known to be installed through inappropriate bundling and without users consent. It is a software that scans the users system for damaged files and attempts to fix it if the user pays a fee. They have Error safe Spyware out there, so dont click on it. Otherwise you would have to go buy a software that removes it from your system.

I'm glad I clicked it off-thanks so much! I just hate not being able to
tell the difference between a legitimate pop-up and a scam.

Hello Gina
I agree with pennzoil34 post 100%

Never click on any pop up thats on your computer, in general they are scams of some sort. Your doing good :)
