That's because the .com/ TLD doesn't exist. :)
(Works without the slash, at least it does here.)

Ammyy _seems_ to be legitimate software in itself, which can be used
to share one's desktop. Of course, that may be all someone needs to
effectively take over your computer. Ammyy has been used in this kind
of scams at least since April last year, so it's quite bad their
website doesn't mention this.

Anyway, well done for keeping them busy for over half an hour!

Martijn.
