Lavasoft Malware Labs; New Rogue: BlockDefense

BlockDefense is the latest rogue from the gang that previously provided us with other rogues like SaveSoldier and SaveKeep.

To try to trick the user this rogue drops a few hundred fake files into the windows folder and then detects these as various malware. If the user does not register the next thing they try is to warnings about fake attacks.

If this still does not convince the user to register they also present a fake version of Windows security center.
