McAfee writes in their blog about fake antivirus program, branded as System Security 2009 and detected as FakeAlert-CO, that disables ability to run any application if user doesn't pay activation of the rogue. User is offered two subscription types: 2 year license for $49.95 or lifetime support license at a "discount". Rogue product website is made to look professional trying to make user more convinced.
Removal of the rogue is tricky since it doesn't offer remove -option and it doesn't appear in add/remove programs -window. Removal has to be done by rebooting system into safe mode and then remove it there.
