Sadly some people do end up falling for this scam.

I've had a couple of these types, one so nasty that it required a reinstall of the OS. Nothing would shift it. I lost nothing because I back up important files. OK if I lost my latest SH campaign it is no real disaster but personal stuff like photos and documents that I'd be gutted to lose are all stashed away on an external HDD.

I tend to view really annoying viruses as a prompt to do a reinstall these days, so the people that are out to mess me up are actually doing me a favour. Otherwise I'd probably not get round to it.
