Guess who goofed up their new fake BrainCodec-homesite
November 28th, 2006 by jahewiIf you’ve been reading our blogs regularly, then you know about fake codecs and fake scanners, like VirusBurst/VirusBuster/VirusBursters.
If you know me a littlebit, you’ll probably know where this little story will end up ;-)
Yep, it’s time to look at the latest goof-up by our not-so-friendly-Fake-Codec-pushers …. ESTDOMAINS!!!
Yesterday, they took it upon theirselves to get a new name for their Zlob-package and called it BrainCodec.
Offcourse, there has to be a home-site for this new beauty … so they parked it on braincodec.com.
Nothing new … even the design is a almost exact copy of the sites ICodecPack, QualityCodec, PerfectCodec (to name a few) and GoldCodec.
However, it seems they were in a hurry a bit to get this codec-baby on the road.
Why? Look closely!
They were in such a hurry, that they forgot to replace the GoldCodec-image (you can’t miss it. It’s in the top left-corner) with a BrainCodec-image.
I guess they will replace the site-image soon enough, so i’m very glad with the screenshot, that i have …
Maybe i should enlarge it and hang it on the wall … that way i can keep smiling about THE fake-codec pushers.
