My colleague and I just finished building another computer with AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8150 and Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Socket AM3+ 990FX ATX AMD Motherboard. Great performance over price.

Said I have downloaded windows applications that can hurt my software. Legit?
Obviously this is a scam. Ars Technica had some fun when they got the call.
