DO YOU KNOW IF I CAN CONTACT THIS COMPANY? APPARENTLY I MADE THE MISTAKE OF PURCHASING ONE OF THEIR ANTI MALWARE. I DISCOVERED WHEN I PURCHASED THAT MY BANKING INFO SAID IT WAS COMING FROM MOSCOW. AND THEIR WAS AN INTERNATIONAL FEE FOR PURCHASING IT AS WELL. I GUESS I'VE LEARNED A $60 LESSON.
THEY GAVE ME A LICENSE KEY# AND AN ORDER NUMBER. DIDN'T SEE WHERE HOW I COULD CONTACT THEM THOUGH
I AT LEAST KNOW NOW NOT TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING THOUGH
MY COMPUTER DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ANY OF THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM SO IT ISN'T INSTALLED ON THE HARD DRIVE AND WON'T BE.
I Just did a system restore and it got rid. Would like to know where it came from though as it just popped up for no reason x
