Micro antivirus uses Norton AntiVirus 2005 name to spam ppl.

From software to hardware, breakthough to disaster, it all belongs here!

I was checking out my spam junk e-mails & came a cross one claiming to be from Norton ,claiming the Norton antivirus 2005 is updated.
i thought that was weird that Norton would start spamming people,so i checked it out ,it turned out to be a Antivirus software called MicroAntiVirus 2005.
They claim to be the only AV company to detect for ad/spyware & to remove ad/spyware ,Firewall Software, Unlimited Free Updating,24/7 Customer Support,Popup Blocker (Special bonus) & Special Offer (Save $30.00).

Can this company lie anymore? :lol:
all lies I tell yea,most AV company's are detecting & removing ad/spyware now & have firewalls in their security suite software versions.
Unlimited Free Updating yea right i guess they haven't heard of AVG or any other Free AV software.
Woohoo :roll: a free pop-up blocker, you can download those for free from the web,dumbasses. :roll: :lol:
Special offer(save 30%). :roll: :lol: (another lie)
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Norton 2005 clone.
Their 24/7 support just gives a e-mail address that says they'll get back to you with in 48hrs. :roll:
Guess what, if you want to download their AV software you have to provide a E-mail address just to download it,so they can send you more spam. :roll:

I'm sure they're probably gonna spam me again with their great offer :roll: ,i'll just delete it.

It's pretty sad really, spam is becoming out of control. What we need are less clones of AV's, and more Spam Protecting software :D
