Anatomy of a malware scam
There’s a very interesting article Anatomy of a malware scam — The evil genius of XP Antivirus 2008 at The Register.
It’s a little log — it stretches across 8 pages — and takes the author from the point of finding suspicious looking "spam comments" on his blog, through his efforts of diagnosing the installation mechanism, social engineering and, ultimately, the removal of XP Antivirus 2008.
It makes me very happy that I’m using VIPRE Antivirus+Antispyware from the recognized anti-malware company Sunbelt Software.
