About a week ago a nasty new exploit showed up, and I've not found an effective way to get rid of it.
I believe it's called "Total Secure 2009" (not the BitDefender one).
What's particularly bad about this one is it not only blocks access to just about every anti-spyware and anti-virus site I know of, it also blocks the execution of those programs if you happen to already have them.
So far I can verify it blocks access to the sites for, and the execution of the apps for:
SmitFraudFix
SuperAntiSpyware
MalwareBytes
I've had to re-image every machine with this so far.
Looks like our butt-head in Texas has a few new tricks up his sleeve.
