Malware authors have trouble with spelling and grammar
We have seen so many different rogue programs these past couple of years. They try real hard to look legitimate using fancy graphics and Microsoft Windows’s style. Most of them actually look much nicer than some of your popular applications.
There is one simple reason behind that: to gain the trust of the user. Many people that I know have been duped that way, downloading and buying a totally bogus anti spyware program that claims to remove all those annoying pop ups.
But in the SWAT team, we have a good eye for details. At least, I have a thing for spelling mistakes: they simply bother me. Also, it may be a hint there is something dubious about the program.
So here are a few examples we have encountered.
Figure 1: Allert / Alert
Figure 2: 7 dangerous infection / 7 dangerous infections
Figure 3: Malaware Removal / Malware Removal
Figure 4: Most Jeopardy threats. Does that make sense?
Figure 5: operation system / operating system
Figure 6: pervent any unathorised / prevent any unauthorized
Figure 7: how many registries are there?
Figure 8: that one has to be the best 
Figure 9: “YOUR’RE” – The ‘R’ Spanish style 
And the list goes on…
