Rogue:Win32/FakePlus
Updated on Aug 18, 2010
Win32/FakePlus is a rogue security program that falsely claims the user's system is infected and encourages the user to buy a promoted product in order 'remove' the bogus infections.
Special Note:
Reports of Rogue Antivirus programs have been more prevalent as of late.

Some of these programs, such as Win32/Antivirusxp and Win32/FakeRednefed may display product names or logos in an apparently unlawful attempt to impersonate Microsoft products.
