Virus Alert

[sloss]

I got this message in a PM this morning from Lady_Administrator from this Forum:

"A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately"

My computer is behind a Corporate Firewall and the installed McAfee software is reporting nothing.

I ran the suggested check and it reported lots of serious threats and suggested I download and run a Program.

I could not get rid of the 'offer' screen until I went into processes and stopped it there.

I think this is one of these Scams which purport to find henious viri and then want you to download (and purchase) their software to fix these problems which they actually generate!

Am I being overly suspicious? Does this site advise using such software?
