The iOS Skype app seems to lack call blocking and privacy options.

i just recieved my 2nd and 3rd notification in 15 minutes. They are telling me to go to a certain web site to activate my computer protection. The first message I received last week, I went to the site and Norton STOPPED me .

The next time they call make sure you "block" their number.

The Skype calls I have been receiving are to my cell. So I am unable to trace back and block the number. It is asking me to go to tools (system monitoring) website and activate. Why am I receiving these calls. They come in 3-5 a day and there are days I do not hear from them then it starts up again. Today alone I have received 2 in a half hour period. Suggestions anyone?

Thank you in advanced for your assistance

I am what I am. I'ma be what I'ma be. Period.

YES! And I went to the website, which asked me to pay. I then knew this was off. But, since then, they call and call, (even when blocked). I have a MAC and did not know one could get viruses, yet my safari browser quits on me all the time. How does one do a 'virus-sweep'? I have NO idea where to go with this one. I have 'MacKeeper', which I thought kept the bad guys away. But, I still get calls and such. WHAT do I do?

How does one ' run a full anti-virus'? Can you please explain better, for the laymen?
