Securityessentials2010.com and other misleading sites. Looks can be deceiving!

Yesterday I read Paretologic.com blog entry about scam using Security Essentials. Jerome Segura mentioned essentials2010.org and he was right, you should avoid it - total scam. Cyber criminals ask to pay for Microsoft Security Essentials. As you know, this product is free and can be downloaded from official website without any subscriptions and etc. I came across another eight sites (there are probably more) that are similar to essentials2010.org.
  • securityessentials2010.com
  • securityessentials-2010.com
  • essentialsfree.info
  • essentialsfree.net
  • essentialsfree.org
  • essentials-free.org
  • essentials-pro.com
  • essentialssite.com
Here's an example of Securityessentials2010.com scam. I have to admit that the scam site looks quite professional, but as I said, looks can be deceiving! The misleading site uses MalwareBytes icon, that's very strange. There are three download buttons and they all redirect users to Freedownloadzone.com. DON'T make any payments through this site otherwise you will simple lose your money.
