This sounds just like Vundo (and may even be a mistake?). If this is true, my job just got a LOT harder... I work tech support for my university, and so far we've seen little of conficker, but TONS of Vundo (which does the same thing... it installs a 'spyware remover' and charges for it).
I'd be interested to see if anyone has actually paid for this. I've worked with/seen hundreds of cases of people who could barely turn on a computer, yet weren't fooled by this sort of 'pay me or die' scam. Does anyone actually fall for this crap?
Random plug: I made a site to direct users to since spyware is such a big problem on campus -- it's a wip, so if you have ideas, email me (See my profile).
