Cleaner affiliates gotcha

in Scareware Rogues

S!ri, a well known and respected malware fighter in the security community, wrote that some webmasters (cleaner affiliates) regularly use the screenshots that he made after analyzing a rogue, in their own blog posts.

The cleaner affiliates write about the dangerousness of the rogue and link to a “Free” Scan or “Free” Removal tool which may not be free at all. :-x

So I decided to MAKE a picture of a new rogue that does NOT exist: Secure Shield. I post the picture and wait for the “serious” guys.

Those guys are inventing files, folders and keys name.
