LOL. Obvious fraud?

- 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..

 

[BlargHonk]

It says the OS is on D, notice the little flag above D? And the C doesn't have that.

Therefore, OS is on D, but notice I said it might be reacting to things your computer sends out?

Oh right, I see it now. Meh.. I don't know.

That's scary.

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.

ehm..... I have had this several times and I just shot down the Page with it.... No Virus has beeen shown on My computer Scan(except those the AVG think is Viruses in the JNGPS)

 

[BlargHonk]

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

 

[Deleted member 157129]

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.

 

[naitsirk]

Well.... I do not think that thing is a Problem.... it checks for stuff i Don't even have on my computer like the diskA) thing... Welll i haven't gotten it in about three months now.... Seems it's gone-.-

 

[Slaydon]

havent gotten it aswell

 

[BlargHonk]

Mabye Rallegod banished it from the interwebs.

Or It was detected by every antivirus so the maker pulled it down, due to uselessness.

 

[Slaydon]

omg, its back!

Use 2 antispywares in safe mode. Does the trick every time. Plus, get a decent firewall, and close any unused open ports in your router.
