It is the most slick operation of pretending to be legitimate software I’ve ever seen. I found Google sponsored advertisements for these bits of malware on yahoo, I’ve seen them at the top of Drudge, and it is an extremely well financed effort.

I see it every day on PC's. They really put a LOT of effort into it. Some of them look so real I can understand how a regular user could be duped.

We have the tools to remove almost all of them and we have it down to science at our shop. We charge a flat fee for cleanups and lately we have been SWAMPED.
