Beware that Spyware Remover
Add to the list of "rogue" spyware remover programs: SpyWare Wizard

While visiting my parents over Christmas, I was told the story about how their Internet Explorer home page had been hijacked by a pr0n page (nothing new there, old trick). The new twist was that a popup window would encourage the user to buy "SpyWare Wizard" to remove the problem, which my parents did. Long story short and $49 later, their computer is infested with malware/spyware and Windows got completely corrupted. *sigh*

After spending an afternoon reinstalling Windows, I think their computer is back to normal (maybe).
