Getting slammed in school, but wanted to post about WinPC Defender.  BleepingComputer has a new guide up for a XP Police Antivirus clone called WinPCDefender.  Here is a quote:

WinPC Defender is a new rogue anti-spyware program discovered by security analyst S!Ri and is a clone of the programs named XP Police Antivirus and IE Security. Like its predecessors, this program is installed and advertised through the use of Trojans that display fake security alerts on your computer. These security alerts state that your computer is infected and that you should click on them in order to download software that will protect you. Once you click on these alerts, the Trojan will automatically download and install the program on your computer.

There guide is linked to below:
