Fake Mac Cleaning Tool 'MacSweeper' menace

US-CERT is reporting the growing menace of a cleaning software tool called as "MacSweeper" that is circulating around the world. This is rogue software and should not be installed.

The full entry is here on US-CERT.

It is really appalling to see so many fake software tools frequenting the cyberspace, harboring on people's fears and ignorance.

UPDATE: The following site talks more on this in depth.
