Question

Evo7 - why is your reply couched in such vicious, superior and condescending terms? I am not a computer slouch by any means, but I don't know if it is feasible or not - it is not clear to me that it is an obvious fake. I am trying to check it out with Symantec. My contact was merely giving a heads up of a possible problem. I thought it was important to alert people - if you noted my last comment -

"Until I can establish whether or not this is a genuine or hoax warning, it would be wise to follow the advice. I will continue to dig for authentication and will post the results as a new topic."

- it urged people to be cautious, and that I would post the result of my search. If it is real, then my contact's warning may have saved a fellow Pruner a vast amount of grief.

I am afraid your attitude does little to encourage people, especially those who are not computer literate, to take anti-virus precautions. In the past I have found this forum to be friendly, helpful and tolerant of those less knowledgeable.

Please keep it that way.
