DO NOT TRY THIS OUT OF CURIOSITY unless you are behind a very good firewall and have highest Internet Security set.
Today (06/05/2009) I tried to go to the official BRSCC website (www.brscc.co.uk) and up popped a Chinese (CN) Adaware website which said that my antivirus software and firewall was disabled and that I needed to check my settings. Another popup box provided me with an option to run or cancel the free online safety check. Clicking on accept, cancel or simply closing the box started a pretend scan and then the site tried to install a programme which my security blocked. All in all, very suspicious.
I suggest you steer clear of this site for the moment and try to contact any BRSCC officials who's email address you already have to let them know the problem
