PC Defender Antivirus rogue update system registry

The criminals who are behind the development of PC Defender Antivirus rogue in the last few hours have updated the registration system for the false application.

The record in the first version was to send a text message SMS rate telephone number located in Russia, while this new version requests a serial number (supposedly under the hardware-locked system) generated using as part of a activation key.

It also adds a button (Buy) that redirects to a form hosted on Plimus, and updated the malware into English. The first version was only in Russian.

This action makes it quite evident that behind the spread of these threats, lies across an organization intended to develop malware to accommodate an underground economy that feeds, increasingly, fraudulent methods.
