"Think Point Antivirus is not a legitimate and Real Antispyware Program but itself a spyware, more precisely a new kind of rogue antispyware program from the same family of System Armor. The only difference being the core files are modified a little bit and the name is changed to hide it's detection by legitimate Antivirus programs installed on your PC."
Had an interesting case - a computer running VISTA and an obsolete version of AVG (version 8.5 trial) was brought in with the Think Point malware program installed. It would start up in either regular or 'safe' mode and pretend to work away - listing fake infections you are supposed to have .. and eventually finishing and then asking you to purchase their program to fix all those problems. DON'T.
