According to information from both Symantec and Panda Security,
scareware purveyors have begun releasing hybrid malware. One recently
detected piece of scareware infects victims' PCs with additional malware
that makes them part of a botnet. Another type of scareware prevents
users from opening any applications until they purchase the fraudulent
product. Symantec's study also found that between July 2008 and June
2009, it received reports of 43 million attempts to install scareware
on users PCs.
