It is a 'war of attrition' and keeping up with them is not an easy task. Users need to be educated to use safer surfing methods and have good preventive programs installed, even so, many will still get ensnared with this cr*p.

But it doesn't catch every instance of this, or other fake anti-malware packages. The creeps who market this stuff make sure of that by tweaking their packages until they're not detected by the top scanners, just as they do with other forms of malware. We keep updating both our signatures and our heuristics to keep up, but this is, as they say, a war of attrition. Actually, it does.
