Dear, Moose08!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://securitytool-2010.org/Moose08
If you do not pass this test* we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP.

I've just had the same PM. The site tries to put a bogus virus checker on to your computer, on no account open it. Norton refused to open this site.
If, by chance, you do get infected you must use "RKill" first before running any other malaware programme.

Any message that says it knows more about your computer than your computer knows about itself is always a gimmick to sell you something or shut you down, dont fall for it.
