While doing some QSL work last week, I picked up a malicious bug claiming to be "Vista Antivirus 2012", that completely interrupted my pc function with exclamations that it was protecting me from multiple attacks as displayed by a "scan" showing all of these, and blocking access to the internet by other programs while offering to protect my pc for a sign-up fee! Researching with my laptop, I found that it is variously called "XP Antispyware 20YY", "Vista Antispyware ...", "Win7 Antispyware ...", depending upon your OS, and apparently the "YY" began in '09 and is now '12.  After some tedious cleanup, I got rid of it. Some more ...".  Guess I will have to quit using QRZ.com ... sigh!
