&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Independently certified&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; ... and &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;100% free of viruses, adware and spyware&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; ... oh what a claim! Even if you try to cancel the (fake) scan the download is still loaded.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The download is the same exact filename (install_en.exe) as the one from &amp;quot;&lt;a class="" href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/hostsnews/archive/2007/12/17/1401525.aspx"&gt;SpyGuardPro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; which also produces the same detection results from VirusTotal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1413807" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://msmvps.com/blogs/hostsnews/archive/tags/AntiSpywareControl/default.aspx">AntiSpywareControl</category></item></channel></rss>
