Anatomy of a malware scam

I see from my Google Analytic’s that lots of you are interested in my post on the Antivirus malware scam going around. I read a great post today from The Register about the “Anatomy of a malware scam” that uses the Antivirus 2009 malware for the basis of the whole article.

I wanted to give those looking for more information about what is “under the hood” of a scam like this the link. I warn you it is very long and detailed post so if you really aren’t that curious about the technical aspects of the scam I would skip it. For those of you that do read it out let me know in the comments what you thought about it.
