We’ve been monitoring a FakeAv/Koobface/spyware delivery scheme, and today the group dropped their standard FakeAv moneymaker and added a set of phony codec gimmickry to their back of tricks, redirecting the user’s browser to v-s-codecpro.com/purchase.php?code=, all while popping scareware messages about corrupt sound and video codecs.
