Re: Microsoft security warning scam?

I think some of these end up being generated as a webpage, rather than as anything on your computer itself - although it's odd that it's on a Microsoft site, as one of the main ways seems to be from compromised ad networks.

I've seen fake Chrome dialogue boxes pop up in the past, but you can tell they're fake as the don't break the page content frame, whereas proper Chrome ones do.
