Cantero Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Saw this over at isecuritysource.comAntivirus XP2008This is one of those pop up windows that say do you want to scan for virus then installs on your computer. It is set to look like a Vista/XP program.

Let your Friends and family know or parents because we know how they love to click on "scan here now" buttons THAT'S for sure!
