Anti-virus software scam

Yeah, I admit it. I got it, last year sometime. Cost me a hundred bucks to get some guy in India to fix it too!

Oh well. I have mentioned to people that this is a VERY good looking site. Too bad it is all about getting you to buy their virus. Not the antidote to the virus. This one gets you to pay for the virus. Really.

This fellow has it broken down so you can see what was going on. If you run a computer (and why else would you be here?) you really ought to check out this analysts web site. Its, well, the anatomy of a hack....grin!
