Why is this company allowed to even keep their website (and their company)?
Why aren't these people being sent to jail?
Aren't there new laws to protect us against the effects of viruses (and by extention, malware)?
This falls under at the very least: deliberate and malevolent computer damages, fraud, extortion.

TOTALLY AGREE!!! I do wish someone would respond to this post who can give a clear, logical answer. We have all been, at some point, a novice on the computer. And as more and more families see the need for a computer and introduce their parents to the joys (and woes) of internet ... well, it is not that the more mature (in age) users are ignorant by any means. Just very naive about this technology they have never been exposed to. We have all had our share of computer problems, but as a nurse who cares for the elderly on a regular basis, seems the "evil" have found one more way to scam our senior citizens, usually in pursuit of their hard-earned cash.
