One of my colleagues almost fell for this one a few days ago. Fortunately she asked me to take a look at her computer. I told her what I thought it was and then one of our University Computing Services techs basically reinstalled everything for her.

I've read some of your other posts. While not a "tech" myself, I work with computers all the time and know a thing or two. You have given some very good advice to people on this forum. I hope they realize it!
