The FBI has issued a press release on December 11 warning of rogue malware that uses popup warnings to alarm users into buying a fake anti-malware/trojan/virus/worm removers. Dallas Virus Removal has seen an alarming increase in the local area beginning last October.

The software throws a popup on the screen claiming users are infected with trojans, viruses and worms and the malware remover needs to be "registered" (i.e. paid for) for the infections to be removed.
The malicious software cannot be closed out or "X" out and further instructions to download the package could result in worst damage, downloading more malicious software or even keyloggers that log keystrokes on victims computers. The FBI reports that these rogue programs have been estimated to be responsible for about $150 billion dollars in damage.
The FBI asks those who have experienced these popups or infections to contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3); www.IC3.gov
