Seeing a lot of these Fake Self Installing AV's popping up

Names are simple

Av.exe
VistaAV.exe
AVvista.exe
Win7av.exe
7av.exe
XPAV.exe
avxp.exe

Anything Along the lines of AV and your OS in the name = Naughty and will start blocking programs (Browsers, Messenger etc.)

I may also point out. The easiest way to get these are from Pornographic sites.. So if one pops up and you tell us.. My eye is on you!
I got one yesterday on google images ,and before anyones eyes are on me i was searching film stars for the competion

good news is that vm anti virus blocked it
