Hey everyone

I'm just wondering, what does anyone know about this Antivirus 2009?

I've been noticing it popping up when I'm on MySpace.

Anyone know if it's possible that it's appearing on MySpace through the Google ads?

Also, anyone know anything that's happening to stop Antivirus 2009?

Check this. That's the only thing I can think of. And it's a BAD program.
MySpace is a pretty popular place to get illegitimate stuff downloaded on your computer.
Google Ads... if you see the yellowish colored panels when you search for things most of those ads are sites to download malware.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." - Bertrand Russell
