		<description><![CDATA[Are you aware of the program?  It looked so official being tied into the Microsoft Firewall.  The Norton Antivirus program said there were no trojans and malware during this episode. And yes, the installed Norton program was the only thing that would work.

This site locked itself onto the other computer here at home, and held us hostage (so to speak).  We could not stop the repeated pop up alerts for this program that linked itself to our Microsoft firewall and kept saying we had malware and trojans and needed to purchase the registration key code to fix these critical threats to our files and internet activities. 

We tried ignoring, no such thing.  Accepting the notices required purchasing the product for $69.95 or $89.95 for added protection.  We could not stop with that, it would not allow any activity on the computer, ie: internet access, file access, system restore, only shut down, start up and purchase of the product. I managed to get an email notice to the support center on their help link.  Then I went to view this on my other computer to read the response from the Help link. They sent instructions to uninstall the program, this appeared to remove it, but it continued to send the notices. We performed a System Restore before it locked into the system again. So far, internet access is back to normal with no more notices for the &quot;Personal Security&quot; program.]]></description>
