Lost, Ronnie James Dio, and so on and so forth, to distribute rogueware

from Panda Security Labs:

It seems that false antivirus have found in the BlackHat SEO attacks a usual means to be distributed. That’s the case of the rogueware MySecurityEngine which is using a varied medley of subjects, some of them arousing people’s interest, like the successful series Lost, whose final episode will be on 23rd of this month, or the recent death of the singer Ronnie James Dio.

I'm not too sure about this (haven't really read up on it) but I assume LUA + UAC + proper configuration of browser may be able to stop this...
