CHiLL Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 It appears that now these rouge 'scanning for viruses' scams are now checking what browser you are using, and providing a popup that mimics that browser. Browsers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari. Usually they only mimicked Internet Explorer or the Windows interface. These only seem to be targeting Windows based users. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/02/rogue_av_mimics_firefox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
