The fake-antivirus business got busted.

No wonder it's been quiet on here.

    Nice find! Certainly explains a lot, it's had a real world effect for sure.

    I'd tried finding similar articles back in July without success. I was aware of ChronoPay - but didn't connect the dots.

    I wonder how many computer shops were depending on the revenue from the fake.alerts.
