StopBadware2008.com Removal Guide

Do you know what StopBadware2008.com is? DESCRIPTION StopBadware2008.com is a malicious site that is known to display a generic warning page that has the text “Insecure Internet activity Threat of virus attack”. We find this message to be totally bogus and used as a tactic to get you to download and purchase the rogue anti-spyware program Antivirus 2008. On the home page of StopBadware2008.com it has two links where one redirects you to a screen that looks like a system scan is being performed on your system by Antivirus 2008. The scan is fake and misleading. Do not fall for this scam or better yet, save yourself the aggravation and avoid visiting StopBadware2008.com altogether.

We previously posted where major software bugs were reported in iPhones and an article where we asked if the iPhone gets spyware. If people are able to hack current versions of the iPhone’s operating system then does that mean it is susceptible to malware or additional hacker attacks?
