Found new rogue antispyware – Web Spy Shield

Sunbelt team found a new scam, which does a fake scan of your PC.

It installs a toolbar and an exe in a webspyshield folder however, it is a fake web based scam. You have to be connected for it to run and I would hate to think what anyone may pay for to register it as it is no real software but only a new form of their online scanner scams.
