Site www. jacinda1st .com is infected by a trojan that claims to be vista defender stating that computer is infected with virus and starts scanning computer automatically w/o consent of user. when user tries to remove those infected file, site opens up internet browser and directs you to a site that sets you up to buy their anti-virus/spyware software (this is false b/c defender is a free software to begin w/). user then cannot open anything other than folders on the computer. other ppl have reported similar problems on the microsoft support website and the malwares recommended are not working against it.

I had to reinstall my vista b/c of this and just wanted to inform others of the problem that just recently started for me who has been viewing this site a number of times w/o having any problems before

moderator broke-up that hyperlink
