What is up with this fake Virus message I get on random web pages?
I've gotten it while searching on random sites like facebook and Yahoo answers.

A message pops up and says your computer may be at risk and needs to scan for viruses. (something along those lines)

I push cancel - it then takes me to a page that looks like "My computer" and starts a fake scan.

I push the back button and here I am.....back on Yahoo answers.



does anyone else get this? is it bad? Is it just an advertisment?
