12. Infection Detected
Whoever created this one has a pretty good sense of humor, using your own worries about protecting yourself from scams and viruses in order to inflict scams and viruses on you. It works this way: A pop-up add with scary-looking graphics (a bright-red exclamation mark, or big red X) appears and alerts you that your computer might be infected with a virus.
You’re told you can scan and clear your system of infections by clicking a link and paying $50. If you follow through with this, not only will you be out your $50, your computer will now be carrying new malware and other unpleasantness.
