Course it's fake. Just another case of scare ware infecting your computer. Okay, obviously it's abit more than just scareware. Keep your anti virus and software programs up to date (including your OS), and this should minimize the risk of catching this, or other viruses.

logan I'm not so smart computer wise......but common sense wise.....I'm not stupid I mean no way I would pay no 400 dollars so something I don't even know. Thats as smart as paying money to a stranger who walks up to you and says hey you'r not brenthing right and by this law you have to pay a fine......I can't belivie randy feel for it.
