I don't know good or bad. HELP
« on: August 20, 2006, 07:58:06 PM »
Hi Everybody, first time here. My question is has anybody heard of these 2 addresses testonsecurity.com & thesecuritypages.com I noticed 2 new icons on my desktop so I checked their properties and they both had a address. I do not know where they came from. I was told by a freind that these guys might be spyware. Anyone know.

Beta. Software undergoes beta testing shortly before it's released. Beta is Latin for 'still doesn't work.'

FYI ... testonsecurity.com links to bravesentry.com ... also related to thesecuritytest.com ...

They are well-known rogue anti-spyware programs that use aggressive promotion to sell you their junk.

They are known malware sites ... :(
