Re: New Variant Of Intrusive Online Scanner

No DO NOT test that link. It is link to XPAntivirus - rogue antivirus. They offer you a free scan of your system - which of course tells you that your computer is not safe and then they offer you installation of their antivirus. DO NOT INSTALL IT.

Not to worry Toma, My intention was too highlight poorly worded advice or suggestion in a security thread. Asking people to test this is bordering on ............

I was hoping a MOD would notice but I guess this week I am clearly meant to be disappointed (my Habs lost last night and are out of the playoffs :-( )

THanks for the link ahulett.

Yes I thought that was your intention with both questions. With my post I only wanted to warn less experienced users from doing foolish thing.
