Scam Site targeting Holdem Manager Users?

[carl]

This post isn't 100% thought through it's meant as quick information since the possible-scam-site is the 2nd search result in google right beneath the original HM-forums.

While setting up my Holdem Manager HUD for PokerStars, I was doing a google search for:
seating preferences holdem manager

I middle-clicked(to open in a new tab) on the second search result which is called
"Setting your seating preferences in Holdem Manager"

It is a website on the domain simoncaley.com

Then a pop-up opens which asks if I want to install some-antivirus-proggy-2009 which I canceled and the cancelling of this pop-up opened the site:
pc-security-scan.com

One middle-click on this Simon-Caley site resulted in 6 entries in my browsing history.
I reproduced this here:

After reading this post http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/sh...843#post965843 it seems like the simoncaley.com-site itself is legit, because no popup opens when you enter the name directly, but clicking on googles link opens the popup.
Perhaps it's something within googles search results. Strange.

i believe this is commonly known as the "facebook" virus as it was going through facebook via comment pages and such but has spread to various parts of the net. i doubt anyone is specifically targeting HEM users, just that the virus is so wide spread at this point that lots of sites are infecting internet users.
