    It' a code for the free trial I think, a bit like when you download microsoft office trial and you have to enter the activation code? I haven't paid anything, no way!

    Why would a scammer give you a free trial??

    The WHOLE point of this scam is to get people to think they are infected so they PAY money to the scammer.

    There is nothing to have a free trial of!!

    It sounds like what i just yanked off my Mum's computer the other night. Do a google search for "antivirus antispyware 2011 removal" and you'll find a ton of how-to's & even some video guides.

    closed / fiddiwebb / CHR15 / googler / .. .. .. and others are correct, the free trial you get is after :

    - you've enterd your bank details
    - and long after the little man in the yellow wellies running down the rainy street in Africa has emptied your account

    Maybe it's the fasionable footwear for "IT consultants" in certain parts of Africa apart from that I've no idea, you will have to ask Richie-from-the-Boro that question ;)

    Just the picture in my head of a muddy Afrikaans / Somali township scam operation where the six clanky ex DELL PC's with old 12" CRT monitors running on an illegal leccy supply nicked from an overhead powerline using 30 day Zain throw away Ghanize 3G dongles.

    When the score is made the ' boss man ' sends the little ' runner ' out into the rain in his red shorts and little yellow wellies to collect the money from a hole~in~the~wall and get a celebration suppy of fresh Khat leaves and Tiger beer for the lads on the return trip :D
