Riding the wave of spyware and privacy, malware authors are making a lot of money.

The recipe is pretty simple: use scare tactics and sell a "magic" program that will solve all the troubles.

Today we are taking a classic example of IE Antivirus, the latest rogue software. After browsing a couple of known bad sites, I found myself subject to many annoying pop-ups. They all seem to tell me that my PC is in great danger and, as good samaritans, they also show me the cure: IE Antivirus.

I am glad to hear that most credit cards are accepted, and that I will benefit from a full money back guarantee.

However, I am a little worried about the cost, around $70... I'm thinking there are a lot of well known programs out there a lot cheaper than that, but there must be a reason for this one to come right to me.
Also, I can get their Alpha wipe cleaner for a very small one time fee.

The total charge is now around $80.

It's hard to tell how many people will purchase the product, but it's fair to say that those scams are very profitable. It's sad to think that way but that's how the world goes on.

Your best choice to eradicate these pests is to clean your PC with a real, trustworthy program. Maybe not just one, but several as not all may be able to detect the Trojan responsible for it. Malware authors will design thousands of variants of their Trojan in order to evade regular anti virus detection.

Our job in the SWAT team is to find all those threats before you do so that we can protect your PC before you even get infected. There are many ways to find those things. We like to replicate regular end user behaviour by making extensive use of our honeypots and other system traps.
