I see the guardians of misinformation at Facebook are hard at it today. I’m seeing these about every other post now. Some are 5 in a row, interspersed with the usual stream of fraudulent ads. My FB feed should be close to empty with so many friends dying tragically.

I should get back into the PC repair/restore business but I think I’d rather continue scraping chicken poop off my boots on a daily basis.

So remember, if you fall victim to this by clicking on it:

You’ll get a bogus pop up that your PC has been infected and the only way to clear it is to pay them to fix it. Do NOT call the number as they will only extort money from you to download and execute a file to “fix” your PC but will render it useless.

Instead, simply Ctrl+Alt+Delete, to bring up the Task Manager, find your browser (Chrome, Brave, Bing etc.) process and kill it (force it closed). Then reboot. It wouldn’t hurt to run a virus scan.

I hope everyone remembers this the next time they slap a label on your post reporting the actual truth. We’ve seen plenty already.
