#184089 - fake windows
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
Some malignant code explicitly opens fake windows claiming that the web browser have performed an invalid memory access and needs to be closed.

Another common one is to claim that a virus has been detected, and offer to "clean" it...

Often these are very well presented to look very much like a genuine antivirus warning...
