Don't Fall Victim to this Windows 10 Scam
It seems that every time a new or improved software service becomes available, someone or somebody has to create a clever scam to confuse and ultimately ruin a computer users day.
There is a Windows 10 Upgrade Scam that is going around that looks and feels legitimate. The scam is delivered via email and generally has a @microsoft.com email address from the sender. This email looks like a real Microsoft Email at first glance, but reading over it you will quickly find that there are spelling mistakes and even includes a Security/Virus statement saying that the email was scanned. It is not! The actual link in this email redirects the user to become infected with Cryptoware/Ransomware. For anyone that has had the unfortunate luck of being infected by this type of Malware you know how awful this is in. For more information on Cryptoware/Ransome,
