For those dual booting, or otherwise running Windows, I got this message on my Linux (only) machine:

**************************************************** I wouldn't dare run this on this Linux machine, nor especially on my Windows machine. (It would be interesting to see what it would make of SuSE, but I don't think I'm going to find out!)

I visited the site, and like Randall, I was treated to a silly dog and pony show in which the remote system was "scanning my system" (as IF!), and found several serious issues. I played along with the gag and clicked the "remove all" button and up popped a shopping cart and they were ready to collect my payment info. I cancelled out at that point, but it was good for a few chuckles.
