PandaLabs recently detected a web page that appeared to establish a new model. While generally, pages selling fake antiviruses either do not contain specific tags or those they contain are designed to improve indexing in search engines, the page from which MSAntispyware 2009 was distributed represented a significant change. Here, all the tags and processes were designed to prevent the page from being indexed in search engines.
The reason for this was to make it more difficult for malware analysts and security companies to prevent infections by techniques such as blocking URLs through search engine queries with specific parameters.
