Side blows of a new threat: Rogue Anti-Spyware
  Hackers and malware programmers have always been very creative about finding news ways to attack your computer. The point of this is not always to spy out new vulnerable spots (exploits) or to infiltrate trojans, nor to develop more efficient disguise functions. At the moment, fake anti-spyware programs are one threat among others that is spreading rapidly. Of course the evil has a name: Rogue Anti-Spyware.
