it's a play on words. Skam is an electronic record company and ORBITAL are in the electronic genre. We also show a picture of Juan Carlos of spain when the word "one" is said. We are not being thick, we are trying to make things a little more interesting.
you can google skam records...no viruses there neither0 -
my response is defensive because i'm offended by your accusations. I dont care if you tell your parents or the police or i get banned. I stick to what i know and i will promote this good cause with or without some good old forum bashing. I'm doing a good thing and you are just being very negative0

What is amazing is that the guy insists that he's a legitimate service/assistant, and absolutely refuses to acknowledge he's a scamster (suppose he's got a lot to lose if he does). And he uses a thing called "ESP" to see whether you're online?! :rotfl:
Anyone with any sort of PC/laptop warranty will know that it costs you for their time and assistance, you never get it free.
Nice that you strung him along by pretending to be clueless!
PS: Avast! AV doesn't seem to have any issue with your loopzorbital site.0 -
Avast doesn't identify a problem with the site.0

I don't let Indian call centres talk for long enough, I just hang up and say "woops, battery gone again"

I've never liked Norton and it's never been very well-regarded. I know a lot of Anti-Viruses do false positives with (cough) keygen .exe files, but a website?!
Suppose the pros and cons of different Anti Viruses are for another thread..0
