Thanks for the advice, I have downloaded TDSSKiller Jim and scanned, the system comes up clean, good to know.

Am running my old Avira virus program, haven't done it for a while.

It's called e-mail address spoofing Reece, they really have not taken over your email account, or your computer for that matter.

Thanks, my porn pictures are safe!

In my own experience I found a full scan with Windows Security would find the trojan.

You nasty man.

Next time tape over the computer camera lens.

Uh, I read about that on the Internet.

This was the first thing I did, when I got my new computer-covered the camera with duck tape.

Before and after I have read and heard people in charge telling people to cover they camera.

Reminds me of the time I got locked out with ransomware from the 'West midland police', (even though I'm not in their area) threatening me with a court case for downloading Warez and and other illegal activity - unless i paid them a tidy sum of course.
Restored my system from a recovery point and all was well.

I had a similar thing like that but in my case I bought a new pc as that one was old and was showing signs it was about to conk out any day. Slight different was they demanded I pay £10,000 the next day and every day that slipped by not paying them additional £5,000 a day on top be charged. And by the end of the week any property I had would be taken away from me. Bunch of their ransom on the harddrive was removed with a hammer.

That one is laughable STEED, £10,000 + £5,000 for each day not paid, is too ridiculous, you'd think these guys would come up with a more realistic scenario!!

It's quite worrying when you take into account some people pay up.

Most of us can spot dumb scams but some don't and it's them these vermin pray on.
