Dear Valued Customer:

Thank You for using Active Scan.

During the process of scanning your computer, we discovered:

0 viruses found

0 files infected

This means your computer is in serious danger. You are running a risk of losing vital information or infecting other computers to which you connect. However, if you act quickly, these problems can be avoided.

To prevent these kind of risks (vendor's name removed) offers a solution that eliminates all threats that could affect your PC.
