Was on my Anniversary and didn't get to watch the Fedor vs Rogers
fight broadcast Saturday night (she wouldn't let me sneak off). Did a
quick search and pulled in first place this link:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fuocunescochair.net%2F%3Ft%3Dfedor-vs-rogers-replay&ei=3Cj3Sqi5I4Te8QahsO3zCQ&usg=AFQjCNFvCJwnkln__-d9MlRcEH4CjzXBPg&sig2=WmIMz0hcFZ68fqkzhp3rQA

First thing to pop up was a page small pop-up from "The page at
http://guardsystem-scanner.net says" with a "Warning! Your PC is at
risk".

Now, the plot thickens. I just deleted my McAfee Antivirus and
installed "Panda's Cloud
Antivirus"(http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/). I know McAfee wouldn't
have caught this but it would have through access scanner if anything
would have been installed. But my understanding of Panda's Cloud was
to "catch" such bad scripts when it was sent to me "through" the
cloud.

They typical "Windwos Security Alert cam "scanning my computer". It
then prompted me to down load "setup_build6_301.exe from
guradsystem-scanner.net.

There you go if your interested...I'm going back to watch the fights!
