What is rogue security software?

I have been warning you all about rogue programs for some time now. Here is some basic information about rogues from Lavasoft that you might find helpful.

"Rogue security software is an application that appears to be beneficial from a security perspective but provides little or no security, generates erroneous alerts, or attempts to lure users into participating in fraudulent transactions. Some products defined as "rogue" simply fail to provide the reliable protection that a consumer paid for. Others are far more sinister, masquerading as legitimate security software, and using deceptive tactics to con users into buying the product."
