Advices Needed Guys..

[Maz]

Hi guys, need some advices for my nephew, hes getting a invoice of £49.99 from a company called Plattemedia (www.plattemedia) after clicking a pop up that popped everytimes he use his internet the last few days, it said that he had signed up for one of the site from this company, but my nephew had no ideas which site, in fact he dont even remember if he had signed up for any site at all, im worry this maybe a scam, does anyone here heard or know of this company? what kind of site do they operate? i can check what site my nephew may have signed up without knowing it from their website, but he had to download more program into his pc, which i dont like the ideas, so any advices with be very grateful.

Regards

Yeah it's malware/spyware/etc.

Get your nephew to run a malware/spyware/adware scanner, something like Ad-Aware, and hopefully that will get rid of it.

Cheer Steviewevie, downing the Ad-Aware program now for him...

Let us know how you get on. If Ad-Aware can't shift it, there are other similar programs out there that you can try.

Look here:

and here:

So it seems like you don't have to give them any details to register .........

Might be worth downloading a pop-up blocker aswell.
