LOL. Obvious fraud? :grin:

Hints
- 100% secure site (yeah, sure it is!)
- Mouse over, if your cursor changes into that cursor where you're clicking a link, the rest is pretty obvious
- Your local disk is empty? (or are you just censoring that)
- You don't even use that windows color
- Browser and OS, there is no space after the : (Windows uses perfect formatting and stuff)

There's actually buttons, so you don't get a HyperLink mouse when holding over it, it's not a picture. True though, My C: is 2% full and my D: is 56% full (no censoring) .. not sure about the colour though, looks like my windows does. Last, well yeah.. I guess.

BlargHonk, where does it say the OS is on the D: drive? It's Vista, indeed. And most AV lists trojans as infections. Although you're technically right about the protection part, I don't think that's too much of a hint towards fraud.

Anyway, there's several things about this that makes it a obvious hoax..

Eh, not really

just turn off your computer and run in circles if it happens then

Splendid idea!

Otherwise you could just kill the process - ie FireFox / Opera / Internet Explorer .. you name it.

AVG misses stuff, all AV's do, I think McAfee is the only one that misses nothing, at the cost of making your computer slow as shit.

Afee uses 50% of the processing power on my friends comp (A whole core), but he has never gotten a virus on that :p

I've only had bad experiences with McAfee, including the devastating processing power it uses. I've never had virus trouble with Norton AV though.
