Rogues like Windows Background Protector have a wide distribution network. The creators of this malicious parasite can even utilize the latest breaking news in order to help this rogue arrive at your computer. For example, when you search the internet for the newest information on some event, some of the search results might actually contain links to rogue host sites.
