[QUOTE="Jack, post: 227, member: 1"] In all our discussion of Trojans, downloaders, malicious spam and more than 700 rogues, it’s easy to forget that a lot of folks out there using the Internet simply can’t tell the difference between a rogue and a legitimate anti-malware application. They become the victims of scareware. They pay $49.98 for software that doesn’t do anything but pop up frightening warnings. To boot, they may have their credit card information stolen. To light a small candle in this vast darkness, Sunbelt Software has produced a guide to help non-technical Internet users recognize rogue anti-malware products. [b]“How to Tell If That Pop-Up Window Is Offering You a Rogue Anti-Malware Product[/b]” is available [url=http://www.sunbeltsecurity.com/dl/Is%20it%20a%20real%20anti%20malware%20product.pdf]here.[/url] [/QUOTE]
