Adobe Software Scam
By Graham Bateman | November 26, 2008
Theregistar.co.uk is warning about Adobe software scams that are appearing in Google ads.
Now click on them. You’ll see that each ad points to nearly identical pages. And if you hit that big red button to get your free Acrobat 9 suite, you’ll see that each site shuttles you to the same sign-up page at the same domain. And if you key your name, email address, and location into the form, you’ll see that your free Adobe 9 suite isn’t free. You’re asked to key in your credit card number for “access and support.” The ostensible fee is at least $2.47 a month.
AdWords Acrobat AdsQuality ads?
It’s not just that these ads violate the Federal Trade Commission’s advertising guidelines, misleading the gullible with bogus claims. It’s not just that they’re breaking copyright law, selling pirated software. They also violate Google’s very own AdWords policies, which prohibit double ad serving.
Remember that Adobe programs are quite expensive. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

By Graham Bateman | November 26, 2008
Twas the night before Christmas all through the net, not a website was stirring, except:

Winweb Security 2008
By Graham Bateman | November 26, 2008

Winweb Security 2008 is a new fake antispyware program.
Isn’t it a little late in the year to be releasing a 2008 version of a fake program?
Winweb Security 2008 only wants you to pay $49.95 for the privilege of seeing it’s fake security popups, but you’ll probably want to manually remove Winweb Security 2008 instead.
Antivirus Trigger
By Graham Bateman | November 25, 2008

Ever heard of VirusTrigger?
Meet it’s evil twin, Antivirus Trigger.
They are both exactly the same program, from generating fake security alerts to using a giant dildo as a logo.
removeonline.com has the instructions to manually remove Antivirus Trigger, should you want to get rid of it for some reason.
RapidAntivir.com
By Graham Bateman | November 25, 2008
RapidAntivir.com is a website that pushes; you guessed it, Rapid Antivirus.
Rapid Antivirus is a fake antivirus that annoys you with fake security alerts, slows down your computer and makes your pre order of The X-Files Uncover the Truth Collection be delayed by two days.
Um, scratch that last one and just avoid RapidAntivir.com
“System Alert” Popup
By Graham Bateman | November 25, 2008
Have you been innocently using your computer and the following popup appears?
“System Alert!
Your system might be infected with malicious software that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon for a free scan to detect any active spyware applications.”
It’s telling the truth, you have been infected with malicious software. The popup fails to mention that it is the malicious software it’s talking about. “System Alert” Popup is just trying to con you into buying a fake antivirus but your too smart to fall for something like that or else you wouldn’t be reading this page.
I first read about the “System Alert!” popup at fix-slow-computer.com however they didn’t show any manual removal instructions and I couldn’t find any on the net either.
For now, use a free trail Antivirus/Antispyware program to see if it detects the “System Alert!” popup?
SpywareRemover 2009
By Graham Bateman | November 22, 2008

You’re reading a post about a program called SpywareRemover 2009. Above this post is a screenshot of SpywareRemover 2009’s website, with the words “DAMN SCAM” stamped in red on it.
Is it really necessary for me to say that SpywareRemover 2009 does anything BUT remove spyware?
If you’ve got more money than you know what to do with, or a fascination with fake security pop ups, by all means buy the non-existent SpywareRemover 2009 for $50. But if your IQ is higher than SpywareRemover 2009’s price, follow these instructions to manually remove SpywareRemover 2009.
