Read the link above... new "scareware" actually moves / hides some of your files before telling you that the system has detected a system drive error, increasing the odds people will fall for the scam, since the user "just saw my files go away, so it must be legit!".

Be aware... be careful. Don't be scammed!

There's a similar one called Windows Security Center. Same concept, same aggravation. Looks incredibly legit from Microsoft, too. But it aint.

Yes,
I got hit the other day, "Vista Security Center".
Was one of the easy ones to get rid of, but still a PIA.
