Dear, carternd;DarrenChay;arenalife;Devil Biccy;timwilky!

There are viruses' activities from your computer! Highly recommend you to scan your computer for malicious and potentially unwanted software. If you do not follow this, I will have to make a complaint to your Internet Service Provider with attached log file (your IP address, etc.). If you want to find a report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it, please click here:

This is an online service that you can use for free spyware removal. Use it to scan your computer to help protect, clean, and keep your computer running at its best. Use the free scan to check for and remove viruses, spyware, and other potentially malicious software and to find vulnerabilities or shortcomings in your Internet security.

Thank you. Yours truly, Cliff Edwards.

1) my anti virus is upto date
2) How the hell does this idiot know what is and isn't on any of my PCs
3) which of the 4 different service providers that I access the net from is he going to complain about me to?

I do not know total-scan, a who is shows everything hidden, so they want to remain anonymous. Would I trust them, of course have 10,000 pounds and take my daughters too please.

Its just spam to try and get you to click the link

Its already been reported on the techsupp forum so he'll get banned soon
