Stay away from fake StopBadware site

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Consider us flattered, then, that a rogue anti-malware distributor set up shop at stopbadware2008.com. Microsoft should be flattered, too, as the home page is designed to imitate an Internet Explorer malware warning screen:

It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, that this site is in no way affiliated with StopBadware.org, and we do not recommend installing their deceptively advertised product.

Thanks to Donna for her post at Dozleng.com that brought this to our attention.
