Scareware?
So that's what it's called. I thought it was called Stupidware because it was so laughably incompetent at trying to infect my computer. I even tried to help it by clicking install. No go but it entertained me for about two minutes.

So we're in a malware war. Well, that kind of moniker really hides the reality. It's a freakin' feeding frenzy on Microsoft's sieveware. And when you post an article like this and fail to name the primary reason for this mess, you are contributing to the problem.

Oh, did I mention that I don't use any anti-virus software at all? Care to know what operating system I'm NOT using?
