Distributors of Antivirus XP were bold enough and dumb enough to buy advertisements on Google Adwords! You get it right: someone looking for anti-virus software on Google search engine was offered Antivirus XP by official adds from Google. The scam was noticed pretty soon. Security experts all over the web guess that this mistake was the one that revealed names of AntivirusXP vendors. Victims of Antivirus XP can start celebrating as the distributors won’t get away easily.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0591D79E-5625-46DF-A69C-648E98927C9D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
