Well, recently I just keep hearing people/website discussing about the rogue antivirus. Today I get one pop-up reagarding this new threat when try browsing in internet using my *nix system. I was laughing when it able to scan my *nix machine (ex, c:\windows\....) and mentioned my *nix systems was infected.

Lots people especially newly to security area or internet can easily believed that their systems was infected by malware that showed in screen.
