5 in 1: The Special Rogue Combo Campaign
Recently we have seen a Trojan that displays a fake alert. Yes nothing new with fake alert but this Trojan displays alert that looks very similar to that of Microsoft Security Essentials Alert.

This Trojan then leads the user to a webpage that displays 35 different security products. The list contains 30 Legitimate Security application and 5 rogue security applications.
With the usual scam tactics they show up that only the rogue security application can clean up the mess on your system.
The Rogue security applications offered by this campaign are:
AntiSpy Safeguard
Major Defense Kit
Peak Protection 2010
Pest Detector 4.1
Red Cross Antivirus

All these rogues have the same code under the hood with different splash screen and different rogue names.
If you are infected with any of these rogues follow the removal instructions posted on Bleeping Computer
