This is not new, regardless of what the article says.
Please folks, any time you open a webpage and it starts acting like it is checking your ‘system’ stop… believe me it can’t be reading your hard drive – it’s a trick to get you to give them permission to install something (like an ActiveX control) onto your computer so they can look at your system.
If ever you click on a web link and the next web page that opens says something like….
Windows Security Center Alert!
It isn’t really running a security scan… it is just some images that make you think they are reading your computer’s hard drives and such.
Any company that needs to resort to something like tricking you so you’ll buy something from them does not deserve your money.
People fall for this all the time.
Ask anyone who repairs buggy systems – if you computer is running slow and not responding don’t install multiple virus protection programs, that is just going to make it run even buggier and slower (but that is a subject for another day).
