    Anyone encounter a full page Garda warning and an online fine payment page when visiting an 'adult' site ? (no, not a pedo site!) I have a screen shot and can post if needed.

    Google 'remove garda virus' or search for previous thread. There are step by step instructions on removing it.

    Task Manager is how I removed it, I'm no expert on computers so they may be a better or more secure way to remove it permanently.

    I only encountered it twice ... but it seems to be a web page rather than a virus ... am I wrong ?
