FBI Moneypak virus reinfections

[AlaDes]

I have one client who told me up front that they watch porn on a daily basis, after I offered him a six month unconditional guarantee. My guarantee is that if a client purchases Kaspersky Internet Security AND Malwarebytes Pro after a cleaning or new install and become reinfected, I will remove it absolutely free of charge for up to six months from the date they pick their system up. They've only had one incident in almost two years, which was well over a year after I installed KIS and Malwarebytes, and that incident was with the first wave of the FBI ransomware, which was very easy to remove in safe mode with networking.

I don't think the warning to update Java caused it UNLESS the warning was at the time you visited a website and a popup told you to do it. Many "You need to update...." when you visit a website are just popups that never check your machine in the first place but were tricks from websites to get you to download and install something nasty.

Real Java updates are usually triggered by a scheduled task or a memory/startup resident task, not because Java somehow figured out you should. On rare occasion a installed version might need to be updated because of a version issue, but it would not update from a virus source.

Probably just a fake message that came up when you load the website.
