Your Computer Is Lying To You… The Epidemic Of Rogues « Tech – for EveryoneDocument Source: Gizmo.com "Weekend Round Up": July 30 2010You Click On A Search Result, And A Screen Tells You An Infection Has Been Detected… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_software These fakes are, in fact ‘marketed’ under hundreds of different names, such as “Internet Security 2010″, “Online Scanner”, and “Antivirus XP 2009″. At our current state of Internet insecurity, you will see one of these scans pop open… if you haven’t already. This ‘rogue’ software scares people by giving false “a virus has been detected!” notifications, and then tries to deceive them into using a credit card and paying for removal of the non-existing “infection”. The Internet’s “shadow economy” of cybercrime is worth over $105 billion. Online crime is bigger business than the global drugs trade. No country, no person, no business and no government is immune from CyberCrime. This video (produced by the good folks at WOT)
