Now that's not nice!

I just got an this email from Wealthtoolbox.com:

Subject: Critical Notice: Sunday March 4

It seems your computer may be infected with malicious
software. Please read the following critical notice
regarding your WealthToolbox account...

===================================
CRITICAL NOTICE!
===================================

We have recently been scanning our web server log files
and noticed that many of our members computers seem to be
infected with spyware, viruses and trojan programs.

These types of programs are very dangerous because they
can allow someone to control your computer remotely and
possibly even steal your login information for your
bank accounts and other personal information.

If you would like to scan your computer for free, to
guarantee full removal of all spyware, viruses and
trogans, please click this link -->
It didn't scare me, but an unsuspecting person could get a bad shakeup. I say that's a nasty way to advertise, which is all they are doing. Don't listing to what the say about virus's, it's not true. They are advertising a program called XoftSpySE, which I've never heard of. Do not bother with it. Since it's not a program commonly used, stay away from it. Use good, trustworthy free anti-spyware programs like Lavasoft Ad-aware SE or Spybot Search & Destroy.

Like I said before, the possibility of a payout from Wealthtoolbox is very low, (See below) but there's no risk, no fee involved so it's still worth signing up, just in case. Be sure to use a email address that you don't care if it gets spammed.
