For the Linux ignorants (like myself), what is happening there? Is Linux just super good at catching viruses? I'm curious.

I'm glad you posted this; we've had a dearth of "here's a screenshot of me using Linux" threads lately.

Some websites try to convince the unwary visitor to buy their virus-checking software (which is probably spyware anyway) by styling a JavaScript popup window like a Windows dialog box. The popup window says something like "zomg you have a virus buy our software!" Completely fake, of course, but non-techies occasionally fall for them. This one goes a step further and pops up another window that looks like Windows' My Computer window, and then pretends to scan for viruses, and reports a metric shit-tonne of "trojans". The point is, they're easy to spot on non-Windows platforms. These popups are almost always styled like default WinXP dialog boxes. |

Thanks for explaining (and in a way I can actually understand haha). |
