Microsoft MSRT - Fake version circulating as security rogue

The bad guys have copied the designs of many AV products to create fake versions, that closely ressemble the real product.  A new security rogue is circulating that closely emulates Microsoft’s Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.  Users should always be cautious if they see popups that claim a PC is infected and they are then offered a $39 or $49 solution to clean their PCs.
