Month: January 2009

Liskula Cohen is suing Google to reveal the source of some nasty comments on a Blogger blog, called Skanks in NYC (the blog itself is here).

Since Liskula has now created a Streisand Effect, many people will assuredly be searching for this blog.

Unfortunately, the bad guys have poisoned Google with the term “skanks in nyc”, with links that push Antivirus 2009.

We have a video that shows what happens here.

I would stay away from this site until they get it cleaned up.   We are seeing various mlb sites redirecting to fake antivirus scan.

These are almost certainly being done by malilcious flash advertisements. 

Not the first time it’s happened (courtesy of Innovative Marketing).

We are a bit late on blogging this but Patrick Jordan found out something really interesting about this rogue.

This Rogue is unique, uninstaller.exe and the installer totalprotect2009_setup.exe have the same MD5/CRC8, however one installs while the other uninstalls.

A bizarre video. But perhaps interesting, technically.
