This may lead to destruction of important files in D:\WINDOWS. Download protection software now!

Click Ok to download antispyware (Recomemded)

(Yes) (No)
——————————————————————————————-
when i press yes it takes me to a websites which installs IE Antivirus in my PC n shows some spywares. when i click to clean them, it says me to purchase the complete software.
definitely i had been a victim of some windows scripting attack from the said antivirus spreaded PATCH.EXE file. n reinstalling windows will surely solve this issue for me. such a cheap step to advertise n sell product.

this email is to inform all of our group members.

and any help for me is requested from all group members as i dont want to solve this issue widout reinstalling windows.
