Security Tidbits : World War 3 spam, New Rogues: PersonalAntiSpy Free and AntiVirus Lab 2009
  • Digg del.icio.us reddit Facebook

This is particularly nasty spam pushing a fake codec trojan:

If you go to that link, you get to a very convincing site pushing a fake codec.  That CNNWorld was created yesterday, hosted in Iran.

PersonalAntiSpy Free is a new rogue security product brought to you by Innovative Marketing

PersonalAntiSpy Home Page

93.190.139.197 Personalantispy. com

Typical fake/Scare scan page

Once the rogue is installed it annoys with a series of fake alert notification.

AntiVirus Lab 2009 is a new rogue security product a near clone of Antispycheck.

AntiVirus Lab 2009 Home page

66.232.113.62 Viruslabs2009. com

Following site is used for direct installation.

Detection by existing antivirus engines on this one is really poor.
