Fake Rootkit Tool
« on: January 18, 2008, 10:59:08 AM »

A URL link to a Trojan posing as a copy of the Trend Micro RootkitBuster is currently being spammed in the wild.

It was found that the email containing the said malicious URL is being spammed to members registered to certain freeware download domains, such as www.bestfreewaredownload.com and betterwindowssoftware.com. This hacked version of RootkitBuster is apparently used to gather email addresses from its users.

You're Welcome...the screenshot is identical to TrendMicro and most would be fooled by this.
These crooks will stoop to anything it seems...
