Needs to be RED. It's a scam operation/transaction site. Scams like OpenOffice-3*org (among others) use it to steal money & infect users.

Rogue Software are computer applications which tries to trick you by telling you, that you are infected with spyware and/or viruses. But in truth you are just infected with this "Rogue Software". The malicious application tells you that the installed "Antivirus" or "Antispyware" application is just a demo version and that you have to buy the full version of the software to remove the virus / spyware from you computer. The truth is, that you are not infected. They just want to make money with your fear! Such malicious applications are also known as:

-Rogue Antivirus
-Rogue Software
-Rogue security software
-Rogue security application
-Fake security application

Normaly the Rogue applicaiton changes your wallpaper and installs a fake bluescreen as screensaver (desktop hijacking).
Such "fake security applications" are promoted with many different names:

-AdwarePatrol
-AdwareRemover
-AntivirusXP 2008
-AntivirusXP 2009
-Antivirus 2009 Professional
-XPSecurity Center
-XPAntivirus 2009
-IEDefender
-WinFixer
-WinSpywareProtect
-Spyware Warrior

The usual game plan is to sell something that is available elsewhere for free. Hundreds of their sites are already rated RED by SiteAdvisor. In order to promote their scams, PlatinumPartner enlists an army of affiliates by paying generous commissions on their "sales." Occasionally you will see a positive review of a PlatinumPartner site on SiteAdvisor.com. These are likely to be written by affiliates who would rather not have the scams they willingly participate in exposed to the public.

Its a scam pure and simple

[Daveskater]

The links to the scam websites have been removed now that this matter is resolved, so that nobody runs the risk of infecting their computer due to this thread.

[Blackmirror]

There was no real risk involved with that Dave as you had to have a promotion code to put in and even then you needed to insert your credit card details.......

It was a different method used ...
But a rogue program just the same

Thanks Oldie for bringing it to our attention
