Nice article on Scareware. If you ever see your computer throw up windows stating your computer has a virus and offer you a solution to but their product then your computer has been infected. Article includes the schemes these Russian companies and others use to steal your dollars. I've been using Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials for past few years and have been able to clean my computer in the few instances where have been infected. Beware public forums and the hypertext links therein.
