Update on new rogue programs

If you go to this web site, note  that everything on the page you go to is new! I was amazed to see how many new rogues were found in the month of August.

You should scroll through them all just to get the idea of what they look like so that should you run into one you will know it is a fake and you can react accordingly.

Note there is even a fake MSRT this month! Pretty clever.

Keep your antivirus up to date. I hope most of you are now using Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). MSE appears to be a very serious product, and like most everything else I recommend, it is free.

Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Superantispyware, and Spybot regularly, and be sure you get the current month's HOSTS file in place.
