We've heard about the fake Microsoft "tech support" calls for a long time.  There have been rogue applications imitating  known security programs.  Now the scammers are moving to a different level with brand security software fake warnings.  They modify the real installer to add their own code with the message the software cannot be installed and a toll-free number to call "support" -- which is a tech support company located in India.

More at Tech Support scammers rip big brand security software with fake warnings including a video recording of the interaction with the technician.
