Forget fake news, now we have fake viruses

A bit of egg, heck, the whole carton, on Webroot's face...

Reminds me of the humorous meme a few years back: "Virus Alert: Windows Found!! Delete?"

Reminds me of one I received a couple of decades ago. It went something like:

You have just received the Linux/Mac email virus.

This virus works on the honour system. Please forward this to everyone in your address book then delete a random selection of your files.

Windows users need not comply, as there are many automated versions which will do this for them.

There are no viruses on Android. But I've had a Windows laptop that needed reinstalling the OS. Those pop ups where to fast to close.
