Dear, donbuggy!

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.

It looks similar to Total-scan.net:

Total-scan.net Description

Total-scan.net is a corrupt website and browser hijacker which urges computer users to buy the Security Tool rogue antivirus application. Total-scan.net resembles My Computer, and appears to be a legitimate Windows interface but is in fact very misleading. Total-scan.net poduces a fake security scan with bogus results claiming the system is infected with malware. Soon the unwary user will be urged to purchase a registered version of Security Tool. This is a blatant scam to pilfer money from hapless victims. Do not fall for this trickery and have Total-scan.net and all threats related to Security Tool removed immediately.
