MS Antivirus 2008 morphed from XP Antivirus 2008

We detected a new XP Antivirus 2008 rogue security software site branded as “MS Antivirus 2008″. The file, MSASetup.exe comes from hxxp://msantivirusxp.com/install.php and is undetected by most AV vendors at the moment.

Updates will be posted here...

Fake AV + Rootkit

We also recieved many spams related to it, please read http://malware-test-lab.blogspot.com/.

I'm speaking more in

I'm speaking more in reference to the fact that they changed the name from XP Antivirus to MS Antivirus. It's likely that more will arrive with a similar name. I know that the malware has not changed so I'm just alerting everyone because many people already know that XP Antivirus is rogue.
