Hi Left123,

This is probably one of the malcreants, the man behind the creating the fake AV apps: http://ddanchev.blogspot.com/2009/12/diverse-portfolio-of-fake-security.html
also write about this Dutchman.
Several of those domains are registered to "Garritt Kooken" with Netherlands email address gkookATcheckjemail.nl, who strangely uses the Chinese telephone number +86.592257788 despite having a street address in India.

Mr. Kooken really likes to make fake AV product websites, and hosts many of them on Ecatel in the Netherlands, such as:

best-pc-defender.net
cleanupantivirus.com (94.102.63.64)
cleanviron-mypc.net
dopc-checkprotect.in
exodus130.com

fastscanandcleansoft.com
fastzone-guard.com
holduponyourpc.com

Unfortunately this is just a drop in the sea. This malcreant has 1800 domain names to his registration.

Our friend Dancho Danchev mentioned gkook in his series A Diverse Portfolio of Fake Security Software back in December last year.

A search at the excellent MalwareURL.com shows that this email address has been associated with this type of malware since at least October 9th, when "windows-pcdefender.com" was being reported.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
