SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 | GLENDALE, Calif. -- Panda Security, a leading provider of IT security solutions, today announced that PandaLabs, Panda Security’s laboratory for detecting and analyzing malware, has noted an increase in cyber-crooks’ use of malware under the guise of fake antivirus products to defraud users. These applications, classified as adware by PandaLabs, pass themselves off as antivirus utilities and often appear on the Internet as free downloads. Alternatively, they can be concealed in other files downloaded by users, including music or video files.
Once on a system, they often operate as follows: they tell the user (who is often unaware that the application is on their system) that a virus has been detected. They then invite them to buy the full version of the antivirus to disinfect the computer (you can see an example of these fake antivirus programs here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/panda_security/2678703471/).
If users don’t purchase the antivirus, it continues displaying non-existent infections and pop-ups inviting users to purchase the security software, which in reality does not detect or delete anything. If they buy it, they will have paid for a useless program. This is how cyber-crooks reach the main objective: to profit financially through malware. Additionally, to prevent users from checking whether they are genuinely infected or not, these programs usually try to block the web pages of real online antiviruses, security companies, etc.
“Initially, these fake antivirus programs were quite elementary. They are however, becoming more sophisticated to prevent detection by real security solutions. Many have become polymorphic (they change their form every time they are installed on a computer),” explains Luis Corrons, Technical Director of PandaLabs. “This investment proves cyber-crooks are obtaining significant financial benefits, and consequently, many users have fallen victim to this fraud.”

Unfortunately, there are a number of rogue anti spyware / anti virus programs out there that suggest your machine has an infection when it truly doesn't. They are a form of ad ware that use deceptive tactics to goad users into buying a product. You might notice some of these tactics when you're dealing with a fake warning notification.The aim is to scare the user into buying the fake anti virus with, for example, cockroaches 'eating' the desktop, or fake blue screens of death.
