Rogues

I spent most of last evening ridding a customer’s system of another rogue program. It takes some doing, but the anti-malware removal trio of programs I use does get rid of most of the ones I have seen - and there are many.
 
The programs I use are Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, SuperAntispyware, and good old Spybot. These are all free.
 
Below is what I saw last night. Notice how closely this resembles the Windows XP Security Center window. It’s easy to see how some people get fooled.
 
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! They ARE out to get you!
