Two new rogue applications from the Winiguard family have been released. The people behind these fraud tools constantly change the names of their applications and move them to new servers.
BlockDefense is the latest rogue from the gang that previously provided us with other security software imposters like SaveSoldier and SaveKeep.
Lavasoft Malware Labs has spotted a new rogue application called Green AV. It will give exaggerated threat reports on the compromised computer, then ask the user to purchase a registered version to remove threats which don’t exist.
A clone of HomeAntivirus2010 has now been released. This time, the fraud tool is named PCAntispyware2010.
As usual, keep an eye out for rogues like this one!
This new rogue, WindowsSecuritySuite, is a clone of previously reported rogues such as VirusMelt, VirusAlarmPro and FastAntiVirus (to name a few).
XP Deluxe Protector is a new rogue application. It will show false scanning results to entice users to purchase their software.
Unvirex is a new rogue that disguises itself as a video codec. While trying to install the codec, the user is told that the codec is going to be scanned for viruses using Unvirex.
Another rogue anti-spyware application has been released. This one is called SecureAntiVirusPro. It will give exaggerated threat reports on the compromised computer, then ask the user to purchase a registered version to remove threats which don't really exist.
