Hackers issue viruses. Many IT experts dedicate themselves to preventing virus mass-spreading. However, the current solution is a PC specific protection, because the web provides great liberties for swindlers to block viruses before approaching computer systems. PC specific protection means a security solution (antiviris) is to be installed on a PC or else the PC is vulnerable to viruses.
Some of the swindlers have invented other viruses in that connection. XP Anti-Spyware 2011 is one of such recent viruses, which pretend to replace a protection for computer system. However, it should not be confused with a mere fake antivirus.
A fake antivirus is only aimed on faking security solution to be rewarded as though it is providing security services. In case of the rogue in question, the scam goes beyond as the counterfeiting has become a secondary purpose of the adverting infection introduction. The aim is to keep genuine security tools off a compromised machine and thus to turn such machine into a bot governed by remote hackers.
