Rogue security app quality = fail

I was going around the Internet hunting down rogue security applications the other day and I found a couple websites serving up a what seems to be a commonly used rogue that performs a fake security scan when you visit the website.

 No big deal. However when it attempted to download and run the rogue app onto my test system the rogue application gave an error saying it wasn’t an executable file. I was unable to install it.

So much for their plan to collect revenue from this scareware rogue security application. I think they better invest in some better quality assurance people and practices. LOL.  Details…
