Hi all,

 

This is something that just happened to me yesterday and I thought I’d make you 
aware of this malicious malware.  It indeed looks real and makes you think 
there’s really something wrong with your pc.  I was lucky to have a clean 
backup that I used to recover from this crap!

 

Cheers,

 

Remi
