Popup security sales gimmick

I ran into this popup and initially it concerned me. I thought I would post it here for confirmation on its validity. It appears to me that this site runs a script that simply displays your c: drive contents rather than actually being able to obtain the information. I could see how it could scare some people though.

Check it out for yourself.
