A guide to picking guides

�I went and checked out your old website at Analyzeguide�

�That�s not my old website�

���

A genuine conversation, ladies and gentlemen � and one that resulted in some rogue program shenanigans.

As you�ll have guessed from the above conversation, you�ll be wanting to steer clear of analyzeguide(dot)com/text/[various redacted .php extensions go here]

Running the executable served up (and some of the many others on offer) will give you a phony disk clean up / defrag tool, along the lines of this horrible thing.

In case you were wondering my old stomping ground was Spywareguide, NOT �Analyzeguide� so please don�t go guessing and wandering into a big pile of fake file action.

VirusTotal results are currently at 13/43, and we detect this as FraudTool.Win32.FakeAV.hdd (v).
