Anti-Virus scams

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

So I laugh when I come across one of these: http://scanner.rapid-antivir-2009.com/35/?advid=4944&ref=60&p=1000000000

It's nothing more than a scam to scare the ignorant and gullible into downloading malware.

If you are browsing and a screen pops up like that with all the "Windows Defender" Icons and "scanning C:\" in your browser, even if you are using windows it is nothing but a scam.
