Mid-Week Spywareguide Roundup

Good Lord, it's a blog frenzy this week. Shall we get down to business?

* First Time For Everything: Janet Jackson sends me spam on a social networking site, and not a wardrobe malfunction in site.

* Roll Up, Roll Up, Get Your Passports Here: If you love handing over thousands of dollars to complete strangers on the internet, along with the prospect of flying to Africa and hoping some head guy hands you an official UN Diplomatic Passport, then this is the post for you. I've no idea if this is real or not, but for some strange reason there's a voice in my head, and its going HAHAHA.

* Scare Tactics: An odd little program apparently designed to make leet hax wannabes poo their pants. It's not mine, I swear (my patent involves a fist coming out of the monitor and punching them in the face).

* OkOk.exe is not Okay - Okay? My colleague writes about some horrible thing he found a few days ago. Maps networks, comes from China - it's all good. No wait, it's not. Ah well.

* Fake Windows Update Popup: It's Back (Again): Every now and again, this horrible wretch of a popup turns up on Myspace, and brings in its wake a trail of destruction and mangled PCs.

This time is no different, and here is the latest fake security alert you'll see if unfortunate enough to run the installer:


Yep, it looks like a NOD32 Antivirus alert. The bad guys are hosting the infection files right alongside a Myspace phish page too, so hey - it's like five writeups in one or something.

That's your lot for now...
