Rogue Security Program email scam

Victims report a rogue named ‘Spybot 2009′ received in the form of email spam posing as an application upgrade. The scam is playing off the trademark name of the well known antispyware program, Spybot-S&D.

Be warned you may also see websites offering the fake, rogue program Spybot 2009.

Screenshots of the rogue at a blog containing malicious code on Google’s blogspot.com, which is yet a separate matter to be addressed. Just going to the site will infect your computer.

The current version of Spybot - Search & Destroy©® is at v 1.6.
