There?s a new site out for a rogue security product, NanoAntiviru. This looks like it will be a potential replacement (or additional rogue version) of the pernicious Antispyware Pro XP.

Binaries are not active (yet). However, a fake scanner page is already up: scan. antispyware-free-scanner. com/100525/8/ (if you don?t add the 100525/8/, you get the Antivirus XP Pro scan, complete with fake ?porn? that?s been ?found? on your computer).
