Soon enough, we’ve discovered not one but two fake antivirus software. This time the attack is made possible through a mass SEO poisoning involving several compromised Web sites. This development has certainly upped the chances of the rogue antispyware gaining mileage.

How does this work?

A simple Google/Yahoo! search can lead you to malware-serving site. Search strings such as “changes on the river amazon” or “changes made for mount Pinatubo” will lead you to a malicious Web site. Users who happen to use these strings will find themselves going down the long road of nasty redirections.
