from what I understand it's not dangerous, it's just a PITA exploitation scheme- They pop up a bogus scan and then either make up a false scan report and/or place false-positive files on the HDD and then ask users to pay for the uninstaller

the program has the ability to go fullscreen and makes a false BSoD; it also does other annoying things like minimize windows and/or closing them
