Here’s a good article that Wired had a while back on scareware, those ads that pop up saying you’ve been infected with a virus and you should buy their product to remove it. It’s amazing what an empire you can build by exploiting people’s trust. They’re the same tricks that have been around for thousands of years, just adapted to the Internet.

Jim Moser, CEO, Cairn Applications“Zimmer and Associates have done a number of sophisticated server configuration projects for me. Each time they do the work well in a fraction of the time it would take me to do it badly. Successes are seldom recognized sufficiently. Bryan is a huge success for my business.”
James Moser, President, Cairn Applications“Zimmer And Associates hit ANOTHER home run for my business. My new customer was pretty much dead in the water.
