Sopho’s blog is reporting:

This past weekend, SophosLabs noticed a new “Conficker” theme in the content of these spam messages. Instead of saying there is a critical windows update that needs to be applied, they say that “your Internet company” believes you to be infected, and to click the link to scan your computer

As in previous post about fake Anti-virus Software sites trying to scare you into sending them free money.  You should always be cautious when it comes to these sites that make you think you have a virus.  Some things to consider when you visit sites that are claiming you have a virus:

• Is this a true anti virus company?  If your unsure you can always google the company to better help you determine if this a fake site.
• You also should consider going to the real deal on anti-virus there are several different companies that I know of off the top of my head but it should always be one that is not a fly by night type of anti-virus company.   The real companies have people and resources watching for the latest viruses, and other Maleware.

According to Sopho’s the Maleware site is detected as Mal/FakeAV-AH with there system.  Remember you don’t always have to buy anit virus software there are several good free versions out there that do a pretty good job at defending against a virus, Trojan, or a Computer Worm.  If you feel you might have a virus you can do a free anti-virus scans to make sure you are not infected.   I also suggest having a firewall installed if you have not done that yet, that will also greatly help prevent a virus or worm but remember you are the last line of defense with Maleware!!
