Case in point, Green Shield Antivirus, a rogue antivirus application that asks for money instead of scanning your computer like it should.

Its modus is that after installing itself in your computer and supposedly scanning for viruses, it will frighten you with alerts and won’t stop unless you cough up some dough for a premium version.
