Fake Anti Virus raises a few brows.

Quote:

When rogue security software uses multiple different names for itself, it's not especially noteworthy. In the past we have seen rogues that changed their names almost every day, and even a single rogue executable that could use one of 33 different names for itself.



After several months of calling themselves "Antivirus 8", recent variants of Rogue:Win32/FakeXPA have begun going by the name of "AVG Antivirus 2011."
