I was logging onto myspace when out of nowhere a popup... well, it pops up, and it says that I have a horrible virus infection, and I looked at it, and it wasn't a popup from my computer's anti-virus, it was from the internet. I clicked on cancel and it redirected my internet to a page that imitated a "my computer" page. It had lines of text under every icon (including the disk drive! lol) saying in all caps "INFECTED! # VIRUSES REMAINING!!"
this is about the 10th time this fake antivirus scam popped up in the past year or so, and the first time I saw it I fell for it and I ended up getting infected for real
I got a new computer, and I thought I'd never see it again, but here it is again, and it's getting annoying.
If anyone else runs into an issue like this, just ignore it, and if you're still concerned just scan with what ever anti-virus you already have
