Several internet users received a surprise when a notification popped up suddenly on their screen saying a virus had been found. In order to quarantine this virus, they must pay. This malware, named Malware.AMCC, claims to be VIRUSfighter, and uses graphics stolen from VIRUSfighters (http://www.spamfighter.com)
The program has no similarities to VIRUSfighter, other than the graphics. If users are interested in using the real anti-virus program VIRUSfighter, they may download it from the website,
and never from an unsolicited pop-up.
If a computer user should receive a pop-up warning of a virus, and asking for immediate payment to VIRUSfighter in order to remove it, please do not pay, and instead report this to the
police. People who want to purchase the actual program, VIRUSfighter, should only do so via the secure VIRUSfighter website here: http://www.spamfighter.com)
SPAMfighter is Europe's leading spam filter developer. The Danish company is owned by the founders of Jubii.dk, Henrik Srensen and Martin Thorborg, together with two programmers, Daniel
Hjortholt and Martin Dyring. SPAMfighter employs 35 people and is based in Copenhagen.
SPAMFighter North America is based in Boca Raton, Florida and is headed by Alix Aranza.
SPAMfighter is debt-free and is 100 per cent financed by income from the sale of the SPAMfighter client. Each day, SPAMfighter removes around 12 million spam messages from 14 million
tested emails received by over 3.7 million users in 216 countries/regions.
SPAMfighter draws its power from the fact that over 3.7 million users report spam as they receive it, with a single click. Once several users have reported the same spam message, it is
automatically filtered for all other users. The result is that approximately 90 percent of all spam is filtered out before it reaches any given user. Get more information about
