Default Rogue uses 'update manager'

It's been a while since I last wrote about rogues. Some basic computing principles should be repeated over and over again though.

The screen below is very familiar. A 'scan' that says you are infected. Can you trust it? NO!!!!

But here's a new thing, an 'update manager' a la Adobe

rog2

The program gets installed wether or not you click the button.

rog4

Your PC then becomes sluggish and your favourite browser no longer works:

rog5

'make a full scan' is that good English? If you're gonna do it, do it right no?

Fortunately, the app itself will let you 'browse' the payment page (how nice of them)

rog6

Those interested in the file can get its ID below.
