Thanks, will pass this on to friends/family.
Meh, looks an easy fake to spot
It'll be bad when they start doing this..
-Scan your ProgramFiles dir to see which security software you're running, then show a screen that looks 100% the same as your AV software, with a fake 'Scan Now' button that goes to another website.
Really wouldn't be hard for them to do
I don't know, it looks quite convincing for your average user - big red screen they've probably seen once or twice before now telling them they have a problem. Hopefully most AV will detect stuff like this.
