New trend? Gromozon being installed as a rogue security app

Here�s a first � the Italian Gromozon, one of the nastiest pieces of malware in creation, being pushed in disguised form as a rogue antispyware security app.

(This same page also installs Malwarealarm, but through a different file.)

Incidentally, it's also the first time we�ve seen Gromozon not being delivered through exploit but through social engineering.

VirusTotal results here.
