You know that "virus" that's been out there for a while, the warning looks official and you click on "fix it" or some similar option and they lockdown your computer where you can't use it without paying them $30-$40 a pop.

Well, their strategy has changed - the notice or warning isn't official looking at all - it's a 2" inch square with a few letters in it - the letters are random - no words - the end result is the same.

By the way, last year they made millions and millions.
