www.fixml.com

I have been receiving automated messages to advise that my security isn't up todate.

I have been given the above site to visit to repair my computer. I am not sure if this is real or a scam. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?? Thanks

Re: www.fixml.com

It's just another nasty sales tool by an unscrupulous company. Ignore it. They have no access to your computer, nor do they know anything about you/your machine.
You can report them to skype, but whether that will make any difference is anybody's guess.

Re: www.fixml.com

There are several variations of these type spam/scam/phishing messages that have been reported by users.  The solution to prevent them is to change your security settings to allow calls and allow IMs from people on your Contacts list only.
