What’s Scareware
Also called Fake AV or Rogueware, Scareware is a class of malware that
pretends to be some legitimate software – usually security related
software like AV – that tries to scare a victim into paying for a
“registered” version of the software in order to fix a fiction computing or
security problem. Some Scareware is benign, but others can include
backdoor or trojan components.
Scareware Stats
- Top 3 Fake AV amassed $130 million in revenue last year.
- Between 2.1% to 2.4% success rate.
- One fake AV company installed 8.4 millions "trial products" that yielded 189,342 sales
to the purported "commercial" version within three months.
- Fake AV firms actually do refund some of their victims. (between 3% and 8.5% of
their sales)
- Payment processors are well-aware of the fake AV business they are supporting.
They charge 8 to 20 percent per transaction for their services to "high-risk merchants"
that accrue a higher number of chargebacks
- Fake AV operations rely heavily on affiliates with commissions of 30 to 80 percent if
they get the sale.
- An Indian call center to handle technical support for them.

How to get infected
Many ways:
Google images

Java – flash exploit
While trying to get infected by a fake-AV, many times I saw flash or java
starting.
You can read a good article about a recent java exploit (Aimes-tu le Java?) on
hackfest.ca written by Philippe Godbout
Apps Can Be Dangerous
