☺Farrah☺ Donating Member | Anyone else get the YT Malware alert? I have been away from Yorkie Talk for a while now because as I tried to open YT up one day my Mac alerted me to Malware on the website. I noticed my daily emails from threads I was on stagger downward as well. Just curious. I've missed you all. I hope everyone is doing well.

| I read about it on another Yorkie site but I run Malwarebytes daily and it has never picked up anything.

| ..... Yes, I got it last month as well. It was a pain to get rid of but fortunately my son was finally able to get rid of it by going the "System Restore" route. I also have 2 anti virus programs running. I don't know how it managed to escape them !!! |

| I don't get it now but I spent over three hours on the phone and computer with a virus removal tech from Microsoft about a month ago. I had 14 Trogans and a bunch of other lesser worms that came from here. my security program had not caught them. I thought my computer had crashed but it was seriously infected. They went thru all my files and everything. Took about three hours to fix it. it still is not running at one hundred percent but is much better than a dark screen or a white screen with only black writing on it. |

| Not sure if this is related but I had one of my accounts (that I haven't used in almost a year) hacked into and was charged a $1000 to my credit card...the merchant said it was most likely a virus that my computer picked up...
