Windows Enterprise Suite? For real?
- I just tried to open a website (Internet Explorer) to listen to the ballgame. Up pops a window with the top bar "Windows Enterprise Suite - Online Protection - Microsoft Internet Explorer" but the address window is some weird address (the one I clicked on, no doubt). The window says I have 10 viruses on my hard drive, in flashing red text. There is a "Start Protection" button at the bottom. This window looks very Microsoft Security offical. When I try to log out of the browser, a small window asks "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Risk of system crash. Press CANCEL to repair. Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." No way to log out of IE. SUggestions? Is this ligit?

- That is almost certainly not legitimate. You should download a security product you trust (e.g. Microsoft Security Essentials from http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/) and perform a full scan on your computer. If you find that you are regularly receiving pop-ups like this, you may have a virus infection. If you think you have an infection, you can receive help from https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com.

- Hello,
Windows Enterprise Suite is a fake security software which uses fraudulent strategies by displaying false or exaggerated security issues on your computer rather than any legitimate ones to coerce you into purchasing their software.
