I stumbled across one of those rogue sites that try's to trick you into installing a new video active-x codec. How and where should I report it? thanks.

Tom,

I wouldn't doubt there are many companies that rebrand other popular products ...

this might be off-the-wall, but i noticed that another company, "encore", is marketing a "spyware doctor 2008".. "encore" looks like it is a similar type "business" where they are marketing rebranded products..

someone said that they were having problems with "spyware doctor 2008", which does not come from the "pctools" website, so i looked into it..

LOL! ... nice catch dude

Something tells me we're up for a whole heap o' fun over the next few weeks ...

Though you'd have thought they'd have learnt at the very least, the basics of hiding a completely BS "acquisition" .... rule number one of which, is not publishing the fact that the companies involved are all at the same address, lol.

That's a new one on me. I've sen a pattern to the way the owners of these sites generate traffic, using a complex network of redirectors that I've documented on my own blog at

tacit.livejournal.com/238112.html

but I haven't seen the attackers generate traffic to these sites using lookalikes of blogging sites before. Very interesting.
