MSE Lookalike Rogue Program
If you use Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) as your antivirus program, as I do on all of my machines, you should be aware and alert to the fact that there is a new rogue program that imitates MSE. It would be easy to fall for it if you were not aware of this.

Hard to believe that people fall for these phishing scams. The abuse of the English language seems to be common in these and might be your first clue!
Be careful out there!
