Ultim Block is Part of a Hit and Run Scam

The reason why there are so many clones of Ultim Block involves the way in which the criminals behind this rogue security program operate. Typically, they will first create a rogue security program, such as Ultim Block or any of its clones. This rogue security program has some security capabilities that are extremely limited. However, most of its features are locked away, only available to users willing to purchase a license. Purchasing this license has proved to be useless, and a quick Internet search reveals hundreds of disgruntled customers that have become victims of fraudulent charges to their credit cards. The criminals behind Ultim Block use a large-scale Internet marketing campaign to lure a large number of unwary computer users to Ultim Block's website. By the time the PC security researchers identify Ultim Block as a rogue security program, these criminals will have scammed a large number of people. Then it is simply a matter of "running away" with the money; they rename their fake security program, change its outward appearance, and begin the process once again.
 

Why It Is Easy To Fall for Ultim Block Scam

The fact is that it is not difficult to fall for the Ultim Block scam. The criminals behind this rogue security program have designed a website that is very convincing, complete with testimonials, customer support, and a professional-looking design and layout. They have also ensured a good search engine presence for Ultim Block, thanks to their fake blogs, comments, and reviews designed to promote Ultim Block and direct computer users to Ultimblock.com website. Because of this, ESG team of malware analysts recommends only downloading security software from sources that are supported and licensed by your operating system's manufacturer.
