At least it was really anti-spyware. I always assumed that if you clicked on it, you would end up getting spyware installed on your computer.

That's been my suspicion about freeware.
I just installed Firefox a month ago and I keep getting these popups telling me I have 'errors' on my drive.
When I go to the link I get a prompt to download ErrorGuard. So I downloaded it and installed it and ran a scan. It told me I had 413 infections but to clean them I had to purchase the software.
So I ran Trend Micro Housecall, Adware 2.0, Spybot Search and Destroy as well as Spy Subtract Spy Trap. Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
Am I infected or am I being scammed?
