[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1026119, member: 369937"] I was browsing the "Global media box" section at another site (sorry) and saw some of the new posts about this box, went to look at this box on the web (Searched with Google) and found their web site, when I opened it a warning popped up about a problem with windows, (ransomware) it popped up with a message that said I was to log into my router with a login screen that was asking for a user name and password for the router, and it would not let me close the screen or my browser....OOOpppps I hit the power off button and restarted in safe mode then did every scan I could for this problem, "Super Anti-Sypware" found a program that the others (Avast and Malwarebytes) did not, it was adware.(sorry don't have a program name for it, no scan log was created) But the problem was not detected by any of the AV/Malware/Spyware or Ransomware software on this PC, it may be something new?????? Why was it detected as adware and not as ransomware??? [B]WARNING[/B] do not go to the Global Media Box website unless your AV/Malware and Spyware definitions are up to date or you are using some form of anti ransomware software. [/QUOTE]
