Fake branded handbags.... fake Smart Security

ESET via its blog yesterday announce that a rogue malware has been using the Smart Security name to dupe customers to thinking that they have an infection that only Smart Security can clean and you will need to pay for the software which will clean the infection.

This sort of scam has been going around for quite a while and has various names such as XP Defender, Antimalware Guard and Antispyware  Protector. Sounds genuine?It is not unfortunately. 

This how the real ESET Smart Security interface looks like and ESET's 30 day trial policy allows you to install, scan and remove malware without forcing you to buy the software first.

Stay safe everyone.
