From the TrendLabs Malware Blog article:
As the anniversary of the horrible September 11 attacks in The United States approaches, Trend Micro researchers donned their research coats and waited for the people behind FAKEAV to make their move. Predictably, they did not disappoint.
Through SEO poisoning, users searching for any reports related to September 11 may find themselves stacked with Google search results that lead to a rogue AV malware detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_FAKEAV.BOH.
[. . .]
The people behind FAKEAV still show no sign of slowing down. With the holiday season coming up, users are also advised to refrain from visiting unknown sites returned in Search Engine results and rely on reputable news agencies instead.
Gee, who might want to keep people from researching September 11, 2001 and urge them to “rely on reputable news agencies instead?” Hmmmm… who could possibly be behind this FAKEAV virus?
