Hi everyone!!

A friend called me last night somewhat frantic about his computer acting up. I connected remotely via teamviewer to take a look. Using ComboFix and Malwarebytes the fake antimalware program was easily removed. Now I've seen several of these types over the years with varying names, poor grammar, empty threats, etc..... However this is the first time I've seen this specific one. This is quite possibly the funniest wording I've ever seen on one of these and thought I'd share.

Indeed, I especially like the mention of the Police and an internal IP being blacklisted.... good funny :)

...and for only $39.95 it will fix the probelm and delete those police logs.

I was just thinking the same thing

I will delete logs for $9.95 and through in a Happy Meal.

What is sad, is it will work more times than not.............Man some people suck.

Yeah, that is the unfortunate truth. People see the red X along with "critical" or "warning" and just click without reading the message...

You're going to destroy my business before I even get it going. :)
