Locked out of my desktop

July 8th, 2008

I came across this annoying little program that pushes a Rogue. I say annoying because it locks your desktop to display either an all white page or a black one, with some fake error message.

The file locker.exe creates an Internet Explorer window (containing that fake error) and also an executable that seems to prevent different keystrokes. For example, you can’t do Ctrl+Tab, or Alt+F4.

 Needless to say, I am also assaulted by various pop ups and such.

 And finally, the app everybody was waiting for, at a cheap price of only $99.95 (”you save more than $400):
