I have been reading this caution about Steve and the warnings on other forums, at the same time I have been using Steve’s pages. On occasions I use Internet Options to clean a computer, every time I clean the computer I get a WARNING! when using Steve’s pages. Then my computer says ‘WARNING! then it says dealt with/taken care of. If I do not clean the computer the warning does not appear again, and that is what happens when cookies are used.
I can train a computer to run, I can not train someone to use one. I have friends that get AMBUSHED/HIJACKED, it always starts with clicking on and approving changes without knowing the author/publisher. When the computer is ambushed by approval the problem does not show up as a virus. My advise when asked “are your sure you want to allow ‘blank’ to make changes to your computer?” the answer should always be “NO!”
I sent information to Windows/Microsoft, they responded with “We have seen that before”. It was a program that presented itself as a virus but was in fact a program the owner of the computer downloaded thinking ‘it was free’, they downloaded the program for free, they (the publisher/author) wanted money to remove the program.
