Rogue Anti-Spyware come-ons and Skype security
Thursday, November 1st, 2007This is a screenshot of an unsolicited message that has recently been seen on Skype:
If you click through on the link you’ll see a web page with some cute JavaScript that makes it look like a security scan is being done on your computer. The bogus scan then reports that it found malware and recommends downloading a product called “Scan and Repair Utilities 2007″ — which is a well known rogue anti-spyware application. If you click through on that, you’ll be asked for your credit card information.
