PDF here, these people are scary.
- More than one million consumers have been scammed into purchasing the Defendants’ software products to remove non-existent problems “detected” by the Defendants’ fake scans. The rogues invariably scared users into believing their computer was infested by malicious files, programs or “illegal” pornography, inducing panic and a purchase which led to even more problems.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one million is a lowball figure.
- When consumers tried to get their money back the Defendants routinely delayed, obstructed and refused to honor such requests.
Rogue names include WinFixer,” “WinAntivirus,” “DriveCleaner,” “WinAntispyware,” “ErrorProtector,” “ErrorSafe,” “SystemDoctor,” “AdvancedCleaner,” “Antivirus XP,” and “XP Antivirus 2008.”
Security help forums have long been inundated with user requests to get that garbage off their computers.
Hat tip to Alex Eckelberry at the SunBelt Blog, The Innovative Marketing saga continues who hopes the defendants rot in prison. Not the only one I’m sure.

Send this bastard to do a lot of HARD time. I was infected with winantivirus and all those invloved should go to prison for decades not years. I hope Reno ends up taking it up the culo every day he is incarcerated!
Malware infections do raise an entire spectrum of feelings that’s for sure.
