Bit similar to the phone one-you recieve phone call "we detected a virus on your computer whilst on our site -we'd like to help you remove it -free ,of course , but we need remote access to your computer ,can you pass on details,or log on to our site and download a cleanup program " - with a strong Asian/polish ( insert another scaming nationality) accent .
