| Wow, the language on their site is hilariously poor, even compared to others from this group (CWS.SpyAxe)! |

for instance like this:
| some anonymous website on Esthost wrote: |
| Nobody safe today! Who may say his PC is not infected? |
*raises hand*
I'm using Linux and FreeBSD, so I wouldn't count here 
| Quote: |
| The latest researches once again confirm, that to risk of infection are subject about 92% of all home PCs. |
I'd like to see a citation from a reliable source with reasonable expertise in the field of malware describing how the research was done. A mere figure doesn't automatically state a fact.
| Quote: |
| One of the famous causes still the Internet |
Who is the famous? What is he/she/it still causing? Hm, looks like the sentence is incomplete...
| Quote: |
| And here set of users fall for the bait the various trading companies and commercial websites which make large-scale distribution of viruses. |
I miss a definition here: What kind of trading companies and commercial websites distribute virii? And in what relation to legitimate websites?
| Quote: |
| These viruses get to inexperienced user through "free-of-charge" software products more often |
The mere fact something is freely available doesn't automatically constitute a risk. Neither doesn't payware automatically guarantuee a "virus"-free* life.

Hello,
You need to understand Russian to get it. It's literal translation.
Not that I know Russian.
Anyhow, all your base are belong to us. If under age of three, must supervise on the genearch. Do not use this weapon to gallow anybody - written on my Chinese crossbow. Honest.
Mrk

I've noticed the poor English and grammar over the past year as well. I blogged about some pop ups that had some bad spelling and nonsensical grammar
| Quote: |
| One way you can tell that the warning is not real is by some error in the warning. Misspelled English words that are not the ones that are usually spelled wrong is one of the easier ways to tell. Another one is the way the sentences are written. It just doesn't sound right. It is written in a way that no one who is a native English speaker would write it. |
Maybe they watched "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" one time too many...

Shuffling and remixing data from some other - sometimes even legitimate - AntiSpyware websites seems to be a characteristic feature of these Russian AntiSpyware sites. I've even seen some of those sites recycling other AntiSpyware sites' "about us" company info, resulting in unusual accumulations of software companies competing in the same niche and sharing the same office in some town in Cyprus (must be either a huge hall or an anthill then).

I like sending these morons requests for information on the release date for their next variant (using my spam address of course) .
They never get back to me for some strange reason . |
