When is Antivirus not Antivirus
Over the past few months we have noticed a rash of Fake Antivirus running around the internet. This stuff is typically called XP Antivirus 200(8)(9) etc..
Personally I have cleaned around 15 systems from this infection it is not easy and typically downloads other malware such as Keylogger’s, Browser toolbars, etc..
The writters are putting out new varients of this malware every couple of weeks, so what we have here is a virus that the real antivirus companies are having trouble keeping up with.
You can read more about the new variant here.
