Title: Fake AV Alert
Post by: Gracie on March 03, 2011, 10:09:09 AM
Just passing it on - pass it on to anybody you know who isn't particulary computer savvy:

It replicates the virus/phishing site warning for every web browser, the only obvious one is Safari.
Keep on trucking folks!

Yeah true, but for some people, you know, like AnimeFan, or someones Grandma or something, might believe it.
Better to share it and help someone, y'know?

If nothing else it's surprising it took this long for fakers to start using something as simple as CSS.
